Thanks for reposting this, Russell!  Just to put a plug in: this is the
first time SAA is trying a student poster session.  We suggested it as a
way to get more attention focused on student research, and to give
practitioners a way to interact with students for potential jobs,
internships, and fellow presenters at subsequence SAA's.  I'd like to make
it so successful, SAA will do it every year. It's not juried, it's not
even very formal.  So please tell students about it, and if you're a
student, submit an idea.  

Thanks, and hope to see you all in DC...any questions or thoughts, please
contact me.
