Otherwise, you will not be included in the student/mentor section of the lunch.

Other Information

• Please use the US-IALE Student Forum if are looking for roommates or transportation.
• We are still looking for a new student representative. If interested, please consider volunteering. Contact either Deahn DonnerWright or Martin Simard at the below addresses as soon as possible.
• We will be organizing a buddy system as we get closer to the annual conference. The annual conference can be difficult for our international students, or students attending the conference by themselves. The buddy system helps match these students with volunteers that are willing to help make the conference a great experience for them.

If you have additional questions or needs, please contact either Deahn DonnerWright (ddonnerwright@fs.fed.us) or Martin Simard (simard@wisc.edu).
