offering insights on academic career issues.

The SWAM program will be held in conjunction with the Southwest
Federation of Administrative Disciplines from March 4-7 at the Hyatt
Regency in Dallas. The program will also include a 25th anniversary
celebration for SWFAD.
Speaking from personal experience, this consortium provides a valuable
opportunity for doctoral students and new professors to network, learn
about career issues, and become involved in a professional organization.
My involvement with SWAM began six years ago by attending this consortium.
I hope to see everyone in Dallas.
