The Southeastern Ecology and Evolution Conference (SEEC) is a product of similar conferences currently held in the northeast (NEEC) and the midwest (MEEC). These conferences are professional meetings intended for graduate students, undergraduate students, and post-docs to present their research to their colleagues in a comfortable, fun, and low stress environment. In addition, SEEC is a FREE conference. Since SEEC is graduate student run, we understand the financial stress that conferences can create, so we are doing everything we can to keep the conference as inexpensive as possible for participants. Also, we hope that making this a free event, more students will want to participate.

SEEC will take place during the weekend of March 5-7, 2004, and registration is required for attendance. Registration forms are due January 31, 2004.

Participants must arrange lodging in advance. Some participants may stay with Georgia Tech graduate students for free BUT this will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. For that reason, on-time registration is encouraged. Contact Amanda Hollebone for information about bunking with Georgia Tech students.

Abstracts for oral and poster presentations are due January 31, 2004.

On Saturday evening there will be a keynote address by Dr. Mark Hay, Professor and Linda and Harry Teasley Chair in Environmental Studies at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia.

If you need more information, please contact the SEEC chair, Alan Wilson via email or by phone 770-722-9075.

We look forwarding to seeing you at SEEC next March.
