Dear CIES Members,
You are invited to shape the CIES gender and education agenda by participating in the 2006 Gender and Education Symposium on Wednesday, March 15. Please see the final schedule below. Advance registration is necessary by March 9 and will cover lunch and refreshments. If you registered for the conference but not the symposium, send in the *registration form with a separate check ($20; $10 for graduate students) and this event will be added to your original registration. For international participants whose checks may not arrive in time and for those who are planning to register on arrival, notify Dr. Nancy Kendall - nkendall@gmail.com - that you will attend so that a meal can be ordered for you.
