The MEST Graduate Student Advisory Committee is bringing its annual Graduate Student Transcribathon to the MAA’s meeting this year–now a three-day, team-based competition–and has also co-sponsored a Graduate Student Social Hour and a session, “Graduate Medievaists and the Institutions We Work In: Community and Activism.” Faculty from across the campus are also playing key roles in organizing panels and events. The MAA 2021 Program may be viewed in full here.
