Dear NACADA Probation/Dismissal/Reinstatement Interest Group Members:

By now you have probably received the NACADA 2005 Annual Conference Call for Proposals. The theme of the conference in Las Vegas is "Hitting the Jackpot: Making Academic Success a Sure Bet!" What better theme for our PDR issues than this?! I hope that many of you are thinking about presenting at concurrent sessions on these issues.

I would like to present a concurrent session with several other PDR Interest Group members and am seeking volunteers. Maybe a panel discussion or round table discussions on PDR research, current issues, best practices, or something else. I'm open for ideas. Does anyone want to collaborate with me on this? If so, please send an e-mail directly to me at reyno238@msu.edu and let me know. We'll have to move quickly on this to get our proposal in by the February 8 deadline.

Another request - I'm still looking for more interested PDR Interest Group members to participate on the Research Committee and Publications Committee. If you are interested and have some time to devote to this, please let me know, and I'll provide you with more details.

Thanks and have a great holiday!
