Wondering who read your abstract submission? Who’s creating the schedule? Who’s making sure there will be enough lunch for everyone? As we get closer to #MEMSfest18, we wanted to introduce ourselves so that you know who you’re in contact with already and who to look for when you arrive at the University of Kent.
Organizing the Festival is a collaborative effort and the committee changes yearly. This year’s team is made up of six students who are currently studying for degrees in the Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies at Kent. Keep reading to learn more about the people making MEMS Fest happen!
