Both the SCS and the Women’s Classical Caucus provide subsidies for registrants who make arrangements for child care with local providers in Chicago so that they can attend annual meeting sessions or placement interviews. Information on obtaining support from the SCS is available from Heather Gasda in the SCS Office (heatherh@sas.upenn.edu).
