International Animal Liberation Conference, Syracuse
University

info at cala-online.org

    The Syracuse Animal Rights Organization is pleased
to announce the First Annual Student Association
Conference on April 23-25, 2004 on the Syracuse
University Campus. This two-day conference will
feature guest speakers, panel discussions and
presentations of papers by students--graduate and
undergraduate. The conference is multi-disciplinary
and encourages students from any course of study to
submit proposals. Since presentations are limited to
graduate and undergraduate students, the CALA Student
Conference is an ideal place for a first conference
presentation in an academic setting, especially for
undergraduate students moving into graduate work.
Hosted by The Student Environmental Action Coalition,
Syracuse Animal Rights Organization, and The Center on
Animal Liberation Affairs Sponsored by:
www.getvegan.com, My Body Is My Temple, Cleveland
Chapter of the American Indian Movement, Bite Back
Magazine 




Registration

On behalf of Syracuse Animal Rights Organization
(SARO) and the Center on Animal Liberation Affairs
(CALA), I am very honored to announce that this
national event, which will unite activists and
academics together and include both outstanding
figures involved with social justice struggles and
members of the academic community, will be brought to
you FREE OF CHARGE! As this event will not be aided by
grants, private donations, or financial endorsements
of any kind, we will be relying upon the tireless
efforts volunteered by our above sponsors.

Consequently, there will be a number of chances
throughout the two days -- tables will be set up
off-campus at the show on Friday night and at the
dinner on Saturday -- to make a donation to Syracuse
Animal Rights Organization, and I do ask that you
consider making a donation if possible to this worthy
cause, of:

$10.00, if you are attending the conference (FREE FOR
ALL)

At this time, we are not asking donations of invited
speakers because we are simply honored to host you.

Again, please note, per university policy these are
not charges for conference admission. Additionally,
because SARO and CALA presently lack non-profit tax
status, I am writing to ask that any and all donations
be provided either in cash, or as a personal check
addressed directly to me.


Deadline: April 1, 2004

Fee: At this time, there is no fee to register.
Subject to change.

Accommodations: Reservations are the responsibility of
all attendees. Remember to make reservations early for
the best rates.
