Investing in the Future
The Visitor Studies Association presents two programs that help bring new talent to the field of Visitor Studies and to the Visitor Studies Association. The application deadline for the April Award and Student Scholarships is March 1, 2009.
The 13th Annual April Award
The April Award brings colleagues new to audience research and evaluation to their first Visitor Studies Conference. This award was generously established by Dr. Marilyn Hood to honor the memory of her longtime research assistant, April Lahm. The 2009 April Award consists of complimentary conference registration and a $500 travel stipend. April Award recipients share VSA’s passion for improving the quality of visitor experiences.
