Conference Mentoring Program for the 1998 ASA Meeting

Last year, at the 1997 Toronto ASA Meeting, the Medical Sociology Council
initiated a conference mentoring program.  The intent of this program was
to link new members--particularly student members--with established,
senior members of the discipline.  The purpose was to provide new members
with a vehicle by which they could become better integrated into the
Section--thereby making the Section and the overall annual meeting more
friendly, inclusive--and hopefully less alienating.  The program was quite
successful and the Council has decided to extend it for the 1998 meetings
in San Francisco.  Individuals who wish to be avail themselves of this
program should contact:  Fred Hafferty (Department of Behavioral Sciences,
University of Minnesota-Duluth School of Medicine) by email at either:
pahffert@computerpro.com.(preferred) or fhaffert@bulldog.d.umn.edu
(office).
