Prince from Minneapolis - proposals due 10/20!

I couldn't bump up the previous thread, but I wanted to make sure everyone knew that the submission date has been extended to 10/20 (this Friday).

http://www.princefrommpls.org/

Not sure if word has made it out: This symposium was proposed and funding approved before Prince died. The idea was to award an honorary doctorate and commemorate his 60th year. Prince knew about the doctorate. Although the University of Minnesota doesn't award this honor posthumously, they've made an exception since it was already in the works before Prince's death.

Please join us on your way to Celebration 2028 - or whatever else might bring you to MPLS April 16-18, 2018.

Bumping a thread is a no no no! Please refrain from doing so.

"Thread bumping" is the act of posting in a thread, with the sole goal of getting it back to the top of the thread list. Some people thread bump because their thread wasn't noticed during a busy time, while others bump threads just because they want to.

I'm so very happy that this thread was allowed to remain in the PMAM forum, unlike this more detailed one from two weeks ago. The direct link won't work, so you must copy and paste the URL into your browser.

Or maybe because they want people to see it.
