I would strongly and heartily encourage any of our students to submit a paper to this conference, happening this spring at ISU in Normal, Illinois. If you are interested, come see me and let's talk about what funds we can gather to defray your costs. You may already have a paper from a PG course from last semester, or be working on one this fall. Let's send someone to this and make it a yearly event!
