SFU WCPA 2006
Information for Students
Welcome! The WCPA has a long history of active student
participation, and it is great to have you here.
Although philosophers
generally tend not to have enough money, student philosophers seem to suffer
that condition even more often and more severely. No, we’re not offering cash, but we will try
to help you to find decent accommodation at a reasonable price, and to be
otherwise welcoming. Advance
registration is already over. You may
register on-site: $25, Canadian cash only (exact change appreciated).
Before giving you a contact,
let me tell you what registration includes (and what, sadly, it does not).
Registration includes:
1.
access to all the
sessions
2.
coffee, tea, and
water at the breaks, and (probably, if my budget holds up) muffins in the
mornings
3.
a registration
packet with programme, name tag, and other such
exciting things
4.
possibly, a drink ticket for Friday evening, but only a few
are left—if you registered in advance, you have one, but if you did not, odds
are not good.
Registration does not include:
1.
basically, anything else, including the Saturday evening
banquet. The banquet is $32, all
inclusive. Tickets were sold in advance. If you didn’t buy one but want one, email me before 8am, Thursday, 12 October. And bring Canadian cash.
The person to contact for assistance is David Gaber
(dgaber at sfu.ca), one of our Graduate students. He does not
have email access at home (so generally not on
weekends) but is happy also to be contacted by phone: 604-317-8615.
Email/speak to him if you
would like to billet and also if you would like to share a room with other
people. Some of the rates are very good (see www.sfu.ca/~jillmc/WCPAacc.htm),
and could be made even better by sharing.
Plus, they are close to the conference, which might not be the case if
you billet.
There will be some SFU
student volunteers at the conference, so don’t be shy about asking
questions. (The volunteers will be the
ones with an aura of profound wisdom about them, but anybody from SFU should be
happy to try to help.)
If you have any questions now,
do not hesitate to contact me: jillmc at sfu.ca.
Above all, have a great time!
Jill
