We’ve received the following invitation from UWRF!

Let me know if anyone is interested, please.

Hello all!
I wanted to touch base with everyone to invite and spread the word for this years newly renamed events.  The dates should coincide with most spring breaks and is also right before the GAS Conference in Chicago.  The event will take place the 18th of March, with most arriving on the evening of the 17th and heading to Chicago on the 19th.  We are approximately 4-1/2 to 5 hours from Chicago and 25 minutes east of the Twin Cities, just off of I-94.  For those that are thinking of flying into Minneapolis and traveling down, we would be happy to organize transportation from the airport to UWRF.  Also, check out MegaBus (us.megabus.com) for travel down to Chicago.  It is cheap, clean, and reliable (approximately 15-20$ ticket from St Paul) and we will again organize transportation to St. Paul for the bus.
Our students will host as many of your students as possible to ease costs for all, but space will be on a first come first serve basis.  So, the sooner you let me know the number attending, the better I can arrange housing.  I will send out a more formal schedule of events within the week but the tentative plan is:

Monday: Arrive eve/afternoon
Potluck at UWRF at 6pm, cup exchange

Tuesday: Events begin at 11am
7pm all ages social time

Wednesday:  Travel to Chicago for GAS

All schools will give a short video/powerpoint about the program, “compete” in fun events for the National Title, bring a “trophy” to use in the competition and bring a cup for a cup exchange.  In addition, if faculty are interested, I thought it worthwhile to begin compiling a collection of syllabi/projects to share among each of us.  If you have no interest in that, no sweat at all, we can scrap that.  Unfortunately due to the current issues that the state universities and the governor have regarding the budget and what’s been removed from it, we aren’t 100% in a position to commit to covering the faculty hotel rooms.  I am writing for funding in this regard and will hopefully be able to cover at least one night of this, but I can’t guarantee this at the moment.
Please let me know as soon as possible if you/school will be attending and the number of students that are traveling here.  Also, if you know of a school or person that didn’t get onto this list, please forward the information to them and send me their contact info so that we can include them.  We hope and look forward to seeing everyone soon!
