[OCWIC] OCWiC CFP Deadline Dec 15th

[Bettina Bair]

 *Students* - OCWiC is *your* conference.  You build it by submitting your
proposals for talks, panels and posters.  OCWiC is a great venue to discuss
your research with a broader audience or gain more experience doing
presentations.  *It looks good on a resume too.*

*Faculty* - You can (and should) submit proposals too.  And, if you have
women students, grad or undergrad, this is a great mentoring opportunity.
You can help them to prepare a paper or poster proposal for submission.
