The Western Society for Kinesiology & Wellness (WSKW) hosts a conference each October in Reno, Nevada. Their conference includes a segment designed to help students take their first steps in presenting peer-reviewed work at a professional conference.

The deadline for submission of proposals has been changed to April 30th instead of end of March. So, if you were considering submitting a proposal (see my 3/10 email below with info.) you have extra time.
