We are so pleased that you have joined us in San Diego for what promises to be another stimulating and enriching conference. In addition to the hundreds of sessions available, a meeting highlight will be an address from our Lynn Bartholome Eminent Scholar awardee, David Feldman of Imponderables fame. As always, there will be plenty of times and spaces to connect with old friends and make new ones: area interest sessions, coffee breaks, film screenings, and special themed events and roundtables. Be sure to take advantage of the networking and scholarly connection opportunities in the book exhibit room. And don’t forget about Friday’s all conference reception! Graduate students and new-comers, we welcome you especially. We hope you will find this a professional home for years to come. Finally, as you depart San Diego at week’s end, be sure to mark your calendars for our Indianapolis meeting, March 25 – April 1, 2018. Have a great conference!
