Thanks to all the #mla18 attendees who made this a great convention! Safe travels home!

Before your 5:15 #mla18 session, fill out a postcard at an MLA Advocacy table (2nd and 3rd fl. of the Hilton or 2nd fl. of the Sheraton) to tell your representatives what's on your mind!

Have an idea for book? Join a #mla18 workshop on book development led by representatives from @Palgrave_, @NYUpress, @PrincetonUPress, and @MLAnews (5:15 today, Gramercy East, Hilton): mla.confex.com/mla/2018/meeti… #s670

Check out the books that won the MLA's 2017 publication prizes at MLA PubCentral (Rhinelander, Hilton) and then congratulate the winners tonight at the #mla18 Awards Ceremony (7:00 p.m., West Ballroom, Hilton). #s706

Because both participants in session #s678 had to cancel, we regret that the conversation between Harry Belafonte and Patrisse Cullors will not take place this evening. #mla18

Buy a book! See the city! If you purchase a book from an exhibitor in Americas I or Rhinelander, take your receipt to the information desk outside Rhinelander to get a two-ride MetroCard while supplies last!

Join Diana Taylor tonight for her #mla18 presidential address! “¡Presente!” is equally a call to arms and a declaration of solidarity as we think through what it means to live, work, and think alongside one another. 6:45 p.m. in the Sheraton Metropolitan Ballroom East.

Upload your #MLA18 presentations so that victims of the #bombcyclone can experience them too! twitter.com/MLACommons/sta…

The #mla18 Possible Futures Career Fair starts now in Hilton Americas I (accessible from the third floor). Come explore the range of career paths open to humanities professionals. outreach.mla.org/attendees/
