Jessica Serrao, who is pursuing a graduate degree in library and information science with a concentration in archives and records management and certificate in digital curation at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), is the 2018 recipient of the Donald Peterson Student Travel Award given by the Society of American Archivists (SAA). The goal of the scholarship is to stimulate greater participation in the activities of SAA, such as presenting research or actively participating in an SAA-sponsored committee or section.
During the Joint Annual Meeting, Serrao will be chairing the education session “Documenting Decisions: Strategies and Workflows for Consistent and Transparent Processing.” She will also co-present within the session “Documentation for Team Processing: A Strategy for Internal and External Transparency,” which highlights ways team processors can collaborate and improve internal transparency through documentation strategies and how that documentation has the potential to support external transparency to the public.
Cool to see travel being part of the discussion here—planning trips can be exciting but also kinda stressful, especially when you're trying to juggle flights and tight budgets. I’ve used CheapOair a few times for last-minute bookings, and they usually come through with solid deals. One time I needed to change a flight super close to departure, and I found the cheapoair phone number got through to support faster than I expected, and they actually helped me rebook without a huge headache. Not perfect, but definitely handy if you’re trying to save and still get decent service.
