<p class="MsoNormal">Dear friends, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I want to inform you about a few activities that the KU chapter of Phi Beta Delta has prepared for the Spring 2020 semester. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The <b>Phi Beta Delta Graduate Student Paper on an International Topic Competition</b> is soliciting submissions once again. Thanks to a sponsorship from Graduate Studies, we are able to offer two awards of $50 for papers in two categories:
research paper from a course and dissertation chapter. More information can be found on the Phi Beta Delta webpage: <a href="https://international.ku.edu/phi-beta-delta-best-grad-student-paper">https://international.ku.edu/phi-beta-delta-best-grad-student-paper</a><b>. The
deadline for the competition is March 6.</b> This is earlier than in previous years because we would like to announce the winners at our spring concert. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The spring concert, <b><i>Evening of International Chamber Music for Strings, Woodwinds, and Piano</i></b> will take place on Sunday, March 22, 2020 at 7:30 PM in the Swarthout Recital Hall. The program will feature music from Ecuador,
China, Canada, Germany, and Armenia, performed by students, faculty, and alumni of the KU School of Music. A small reception will follow. Members of the society and other supporters of international education are cordially invited.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please share this email and Paper Competition attachment among your colleagues and friends. I hope to see you at the concert!<o:p></o:p></p>
