I am pleased to announce a call for papers for the 8th Annual Regional
National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) Young/New Investigators
Symposium scheduled for April 15-16, 2010 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The first

6 states, as well as Alberta, Canada. Senior faculty reviewed the conference
research papers and peer-reviewed proceedings will be published on the web.
Would you please forward this information to any students and faculty who would be interested in attending and/or presenting?
