South Atlantic Modern Language Association (SAMLA)

I've been attending SAMLA since 2011. It's a great conference that offers many opportunities, including the time to catch up with my University of Memphis cohorts. SAMLA has been good to me, so serving the association has provided ways for me to give back.
