I hope you all are well. Hopefully you’re starting to enjoy some warm(er) weather as we dive into spring (the Midwest hasn’t made up its mind yet). I have a few things I’d like to highlight for this edition of our newsletter. First, we encourage you – and especially our graduate students – to submit content for the newsletter. This is a great way to help us stay apprised of all the hard work you are doing. This does not have to be limited to publications. Perhaps you took part in a social justice demonstration and you’d like to share that with our membership. Please do! We encourage it! Second, please help spread the word about our lifetime achievement award. We are currently soliciting nominations. We highly encourage you to nominate someone who is well deserving of this award. Please send nominations to Stephani Williams at STEPHANI.WILLIAMS@gmail.com. Last but not least, please consider becoming a meeting mentor. Due to the SSSP mentoring program, I have had the opportunity to meet our wonderful CJDD graduate students at various stages in their academic careers. It’s a fun and rewarding experience. If you are interested in becoming a meeting mentor for our annual conference in Philadelphia, especially for other members in the CJDD division, please e-mail Meghan McDowell at mcdowellmg@wssu.edu. Applications for meeting mentors are due June 30, 2018. All my best, Kristen Kristen M.
