If you are considering a short course or topical session proposal, please contact the PS Program Coordinator, Mark Wilson (mwilson@acs.wooster.edu). The next opening for a short course is in November 2004. Topical session proposals for the 2002 GSA meeting (October 27-30, 2002, in Denver) must be submitted by the session organizers to GSA by January 17, 2002. PS sponsorship should be obtained prior to submitting a proposal to GSA. To facilitate consideration of sponsorship by the PS Council, please submit ideas to Mark Wilson by November 1, 2001 (especially if you wish to request funding for the session).
