The University of Arizona Foundation has given us funds to cover free registration for a limited number of University of Arizona undergraduate and graduate students who apply. Most of these funds have been used to provide free registration for conference volunteers; however, limited funds are available to pay for registration for about 10 more students. Registration gets you full attendance at the conference, access to the food and drink during it (including two suppers and lunch on Saturday) and a complete set of conference materials, including an abstract of every presentation. Students should email cuny2005@mail.sbs.arizona.edu to apply for the free registration.

OTHER PEOPLE WHOSE CONTRIBUTIONS WERE ESSENTIAL

Jennie Bradley was the administrative assistant for the conference. In addition to making the hotel arrangements, having the t-shirts made, and overseeing the registration and t-shirts sales tables, Jennie organized many aspects of the conference beginning as early as September 2004.

Nova Hinrichs, the Cognitive Science Program’s Business Manager, handled some (or most?) financial aspects of the conference including (but certainly not limited to) student travel funding and receipts.

SBS Tech Support Group, especially Nic Shoenfeld, Brian Atkinson, and Marie Roberts
