Calling all students – special event at Canadian Association for Studies in Co-operation Conference

The Canadian Association for Studies in Co-operation would like to invite all students researching co-operatives to be part of a student event that is being planned for June 3, 2013 in Victoria, BC just before the annual conference of CASC. Many of you have been involved before and we hope you are considering attending again.

We have put together a very brief survey in order to figure out the focus and format of a student event based on your interests. Please take 5 minutes to help us design something that is valuable to you by completing the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/F8DMH5B (by February 28).

More about CASC’s conference this year can be found at: http://www.coopresearch.coop/

Also feel free to contact Erin Hancock if you would prefer to offer ideas by phone at 613.238.6711 x211. Please forward to your colleagues and relevant student associations.
In Co-operation,
CASC
