I had my meeting with our programming director. These are the details we have down now. Please mull it over and let me know what you're thinking.:
-When: Either July 26-27 or 19-20 (We're confirming the date on Wednesday when I talked with the campus center manager)
-Where: UMass Amherst (
www.umass.edu)
-What: Workshops on many topics- look at the previous posts. (If you or your alumni want to present a workshop, let me know)
-Who: Any and all unaffiliated GLO's. Right now we're saying a limit of 10 participants per group. If it looks like the conference is going to get too big for the space alloted, we may lower that number. (This is why it's important to contact me if you're interested, so we can get an accurate count of interested groups).
-How much: Probably about $100, plus travel expenses. To estimate that: by plane, check Bradley Int'l in Hartford, by train, the Amtrak station in Amherst, by bus, the U of M Amherst bus station (NOT the Amherst, MA station- it's in downtown, not on campus).
-Schedule:
Friday: Arrive in the morning. Workshops start after lunch, go until dinner. After dinner, we'll have planned a set of activities (thinking of throwing open one of the gyms), and there will be the attractions of Amherst and Northampton (both great spots for bars, clubs, and arts).
Saturday: Breakfast. Workshops start at noon. That night, dinner-dance-talent show thing (we're still working on the idea, I really need some sorority input here).
Sunday: Breakfast, leave.
