SAAN Conference: Part 2

Article published on Feb 3rd, 2007 | Comment | Trackback | Categories »

So I’m still recovering from my trip to Michigan. Sumaya and I spoke last Saturday at the SAAN Conference in Ann Arbor. Let me just say something…This was the most organized conference I’ve ever been to. I was amazed by these University of Michigan students who organized the conference. You could really tell they put a tremendous amount of dedication, planning, and effort into EVERY detail. I met almost every single person who helped organize the conference, and each one of them told me that this event was one of the best experiences of their college lives. Special thanks to all of them! Especially, Sarwat!!!

I got to see some of the other workshops by the other speakers, most notably Moushumi Khan who we profiled a couple weeks ago. It’s great when you get to meet the people you profile. I think there’s always a sense accomplishment when we profile someone who’s been doing great things. But it’s even more rewarding knowing that the people we profile will be doing even greater things in the future. I can definitely say that about Moushumi Khan. If you haven’t read her profile, make sure you do and remember where you read it first :)

We’re going to end up profiling a lot of the speakers we met at the conference. Stay tuned for this…

Oh, and one more thing. If you’re a college kid reading this, make sure to attend the SAAN Conference next year. If it’s anything like it was this year, you have to attend.
