PPA Student Group on Facebook.com
Student members of the PPA can stay up-to-date with the Student Group happenings by joining us on Facebook.com (FB).  We currently have over 100 members from all over the world!  This site is only open to student members of the PPA.  Here, student members can discuss common interests in paleopathology, share ideas, network, and post information on skeletal collections and other resources.

To join the PPA Student Group on Facebook (FB):
1.  Go to www.facebook.com and search for our group under: Paleopathology Association Student Group. 
2.  You will need to join FB before you can request to join the Student Group page. 
3.  Once you make a request to join the Student Group, FB will notify us and we will confirm your PPA membership.  For new PPA members, please be patient while we confirm your PPA membership.

If you have any questions or problems joining the Facebook group, send a message to either Kathleen Blake or Hedy Justus through FB or via email (see below). 

2010 MEETING: ALBUQUERQUE, NM

• Please check back soon for more details for next year’s meeting.  We will be holding a student-networking luncheon once again, funds pending.  We are currently searching for next year’s guest speakers and will post this as soon as we know who they are.  If you have any suggestions of topics to focus on, please message us through FB or email us!

• Elections will be held at the 2010 meeting.  We will be voting for Student Group Secretary and at least one Co-Chair, and possibly other appointments.  It was announced in 2008 that in order to run for Co-Chair, it is preferable that you have already served as a Student Group officer.  So, if you are really interested in running for Co-Chair now or in the future, please run for another office now!  If existing officers do not wish to run for Co-Chair, then the election will be open to anyone who is interested.  Please check back HERE and on FB for a more detailed election announcement, including a description of officer duties. 

STUDENT FUNDRAISING

The SAC has opened a shop via Cafepress.com.  Here you can buy high quality clothes, coffee mugs, bags, wall clocks, and much more with the PPA logo.  Please use the link below to find our shop, don’t just go to cafépress and search for the name (our group gets a better commission when purchased via the link).  Please pass this info on to others that might be interested in shopping at our site.  Next year’s student meeting/networking luncheon will depend on these funds!  Go to:  http://www.cafepress.com/PPA_Student_Grp .
