President’s Letter: Build Bridges to Learn…and Relax

We are just a few days away from our annual spring conference. We hope you can join us April 30–May 1 in Hyannis, Mass. We have a President’s Reception and a preconference workshop for you on Monday, April 30. On Tuesday, May 1, we will kick off the conference with a great lineup of speakers, education sessions and graduate student posters. Learn more and register
 
Want to make a mini-vacation out of this year’s conference? Here are some local activities for you:

• Hyannis Main Street – Take a stroll down Main Street! You’ll find myriad local shops and more than 40 restaurants in the F.O.O.D. District (Fabulous Owner Operated Dining).
• JFK Hyannis Museum – Learn about President John F. Kennedy, including his presidency, family and connection to Cape Cod.
• Cape Cod Factory Tour – Take a self-guided tour of the famous Cape Cod Potato Chip Factory.
• Catch Some Waves – Relax and walk along one of the local beaches! The Town of Barnstable has more than 100 miles of beach to explore. One option to check out is Kalmus Beach.
• Zion Union Heritage Museum – At this African-American and Cape Verdean history museum, you will learn about how people of color have helped shape today’s Cape Cod.

I look forward to meeting you at the conference, and I hope you enjoy this issue of the MASCA newsletter!
