<div>Dear all,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>DIALOG symposia keep getting better! This October, Debbie
Steinberg, DIALOG I alum and current faculty member at VIMS, will be
on site to provide perspectives based on her experience as both
hard-money faculty and, earlier, soft-money researcher. Monty Graham
will be present as well--be sure to check out his Tips on Tenure on
the http://aslo.org/phd.html webpage.</div>
<div>--If you are eligible for this year's symposium, you are strongly
encouraged to apply. The process is simple and, with the symposium on
an annual schedule, the success rate should be higher than it has been
in the past couple of cycles. So this is definately a good time to
apply!</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>--Those of you who are no longer eligible, please forward this
message to your students and colleagues!</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks, Sue</div>

communication and teambuilding skills, and discuss emerging research,
education and societal issues.</div>
