It's been a great day!

Posted by: ktmahoney in comp/rhet, events

It’s been quite a day! The final panels are now in session. We have at least 154 people registered (I say at least because I think there is another list floating around in the conference rooms). Not only have the panels been well-attended, the registration room has been alive with discussion, laughter, and story-telling all day. We’ve even begun talking about next year’s conference. Not to mention the weather is absolutely beautiful–the first real spring day of the year–and students and faculty are still coming to see panels. A good day.
