Hello POPers!
During the past academic year, POP has undergone some leadership change. Tara stepped down as president to finish up her dissertation! (You go girl!) New president, Frank Merksamer, is a doctoral candidate in English, making POP ever-more interdisciplinary!
POP had only one meeting last fall, during which a spring schedule was set. This spring, POP will meet the first Wednesday of every month at 6:30 pm. Locations will vary, so keep on the lookout via Facebook (“like” Publish or Perish) and the website!
The first meeting took place last week, on Wednesday, February 4th, at the Joe. Dr. Lydia DeFlorio, a professor in the College of Education, shared her experience when looking for a journal in which to publish. She had a great handout (DeFlorio_How to find a journal) and some great advice! Handout illustrates what it can look like to:
Other great advice from Dr. DeFlorio:
For more tips, tricks, and advice from professionals, please join us at upcoming POP meetings! We look forward to seeing you there and commend your dedication to scholarly work!
The April 25 meeting has been rescheduled for the following Thursday (May 02, 2013)
From 5-6 pm, POP will host its final spring semester meeting at the Little Waldorf restaurant on N. Virginia street (across the street from campus). We will be celebrating a highly productive semester by honoring the research and publication achievements as well as all of the new skills POP members have developed. In addition, if you are interested in POP leadership positions, we will discuss future POP goals and fall semester officer reorganization opportunities. Light snacks and non-alcoholic beverages are provided.
We look forward to celebrating with you and enjoying the final spring meeting. For more information, contact Tara Madden-Dent at taramaddendent@gmail.com.

POP’s March theme is all about Posters & Presentations. 
Do you have a poster that you have presented or are about to present at a conference or academic event? Bring it with you to the Publish or Perish meeting to discuss what works and what to avoid when presenting. Afterwards, if you would like to loan your poster to the College of Education, they might showcase it in their hallway poster gallery.
Join us Thursday, March 28th at 7pm in the William Raggio Building (room TBA).
For any questions, contact Tara -POP President, at tmadden@unr.edu.
