[Sigmet-officers] Draft- Call For Papers- Draft

Tue Apr 9 18:23:28 EDT 2013

1) No--the money is given as an award, not as a reimbursement. It is likely
that the award will only partly cover the students expenses for the
conference.
2) Students submit the paper directly with no intervention from the faculty
member.
3) I think a paragraph to motivate is a great idea! Isabella, would you be
willing to write such a paragraph?
BTW: it was a bit lower than the first year, if I recall...
