This year's Annual Meeting in Boston saw the Association host nine outstanding students from the 2002 Ralph Bunche Summer Institute. The Institute's director, Paula D. McClain of Duke University nominated the students to present their work at the American Politics I Poster Session. The student-scholars presented and discussed their research on topics ranging from school vouchers to self-placement in Latin American politics. The students were introduced to the meeting by former Bunche student Vesla Weaver, who is now a second-year doctoral candidate at Harvard University. Ms. Weaver presented her work at the 2001 Annual Meeting and drew on her experiences to walk the students through their first meeting. Ms. Weaver did an outstanding job of advising the students throughout their time in Boston. The Bunche students found active discussions with APSA members, and the Annual Meeting as a whole, a beneficial learning experience that they will draw upon in the future.
