Join Us for an Online Viewing Party
Where: St. Cloud State University, Miller Center Library –
(Room B18 Wednesday & Thursday, Rooms 114/115 Friday)
When: Wednesday, October 19th – Friday, October 21st
Since most cannot attend the Educause Annual Conference in Philadelphia, the Miller Center has graciously paid for the streaming of this online event and has allowed us to host a viewing party by opening this event up to academics in our region. Please see the Educause Sessions document to view a full schedule for this three day event as well as session descriptions. Find some sessions that interest you? Consider attending for a full day or half day — it’s very informal.
Lunch will be on your own; the Atwood Center on the SCSU campus has plenty of options, or consider bringing your own lunch or ordering delivery from a local sandwich shop. We highly recommend parking in the 4th Avenue Parking Ramp across the street from the Miller Center, for $1.00/hr. Visit http://www.stcloudstate.edu/campusmap/default.asp for a SCSU Campus map.
Registration is not required, but please send Kate Bessey an email at kmbessey@stcloudstate.edu if you’d like to attend, so we have adequate space.
Please also indicate which day(s) you plan to attend.
