Next time my koozie is in Charleston is for SCJA in September, but until then, I have great memories of shows 19 and 20 with my friends!

The deadlines for the travel awards and reduced room rate for the 2025 Annual Meeting in Charleston are approaching! 💲7/28: Student & Untenured Faculty Travel awards 💲8/1: Loss Prevention Research Council student travel awards 🏨 8/9: Francis Marion Hotel reduced room rate ends

Hey, I know that koozie and shirt...

It's me, I'm the one who broke my mug from Daytona. But you can pry my Nashville buckle, harmonica, guitar pics, and cooler; Greenville lip balm; Pensacola Beach towel, and Biloxi poker chips from my cold, dead hands. #SCJA2025

As summer draws to a close, I am so thankful I was able to look for love in it and not burn the day away. Six shows, five posters, four shirts, three loved ones at their first show, two weeks, and one favorite band. 🧡 I have the best job in the world, ready to go chase curiosity

As we get the final program up on the website and sent out, we're at the 10 day countdown to the meeting in Charleston! We are excited to see and hear from each of our attendees and presenters. Cheers! (Vintage mugs from longtime member Dr. Matt Nobles from UCF)

Emerging from his bout with a plague, 1st VP & Program Chair Shaun Thomas invites you to a Presidential Reception after Dr. Julie Baldwin's Presidential Address on Tues 9/9. Show your spirit for your alma mater or the one paying your bills because it's a tailgate theme! #SCJA2025

See you next week PAWLLL

That's the first of the RPALS to defend a thesis, and I can't be more excited for what he's going to do next. Evan is brilliant and has a heart for service, coupled with his extraordinary intuition and ability to learn quickly. It was a privilege to be his mentor.

Someday, I'll have snack size bags, but my Don't Faint From Lack of Sodium chips are ready for their appearances at #ASCinDC25

Two of my hotel nights in NOLA were at the Hyatt Regency, or, as I have been calling it, the hotel where James Carville did his hotel walk at the beginning of his CNN bio-doc explaining concerns about older people falling on sidewalks & roadways. I could rewatch that scene daily.
