Hello, my name is Yan Lin. I'm from Texas State University, San Marcus - Geography Department.
I'm a PhD candidate in Geography Information Science program. I am very glad to attend
- ehem. Sorry. I'm very glad to attend NAACCR meeting 2013. I found this meeting is a very
good opportunity for me to present my research and my research is Application of GIS in Cancer
Disparity so that's why I found this meeting is very important to my research so you can
present your research, your work, your original ideas and then you can exchange your ideas
with people from the same area and most importantly you will get feedbacks from people from the
same area you are in. I actually met a lot of big name who I have learned from the literature.
So, just imagine all the big names from the book are right now in front of you. That's
a great experience. And, um, also, what's important is, it's very good experience for
you to be exposed to the people from the same area which will help you to build up your
resume and also prepare you for your career. And some of the students might be worried
about the fundings of the attending the conference but don't worry at all because you can actually
apply some of the travel awards from NAACCR. You can apply for awards. So I am the winner
of the poster, student poster awards this year so, which is very good opportunity and
a great experience for me so far to attend this meeting. Thank you.
