VACUHO is excited to announce that registration for the VACUHO Drive-In Workshop is now available. Registration is available from today until Tuesday, July 6th. The deadline CAN NOT be extended in order to allow for the needs of the University of Richmond's Catering department, so be sure to sign up no later than July 6th.

This year's workshop, sponsored by VACUHO and held in conjunction with the University of Richmond, is being held on Friday, July 16th. The workshop will feature 8 presentations. These presentations will be 18 minutes each and will be followed by a 12 minute round table discussion on that topic. Check-in for the conference will begin at 9 am with the workshop opening at 9:45 am. The workshop will wrap up at 3:45 pm.

It is important to note that even though this workshop is sponsored by VACUHO (The Virginia Association of College and University Housing Officers), the general topic addressed in each presentation will answer a statement or question regarding "Today's university is...." so we expect this workshop to be beneficial for all higher education professionals and it is NOT geared simply for those who work with Housing or Residence Life. Please share this information with colleagues across your campus who may be interested in and benefit from the experience.

Not only is the workshop in a great central location in Virginia on a beautiful campus, but the cost is ONLY $10. Payment will be accepted ahead of time via check made out to VACUHO (sent to Eddie Seavers, 1 University Place, Newport News, Virginia, 23606) or on site via cash or check. It is necessary for everyone who has signed up for the conference as of the July 6th deadline to make payment. If you discover you are unable to attend after the 6th, you may send someone else in your place, but payment still needs to be made and there can be no refunds.

Lastly, in order to register, please complete the Google Document form below. More detailed information about directions, parking and a complete schedule will be sent to all registrants prior to the workshop.

If you have any questions about the Workshop, please contact Eddie Seavers at eseavers@cnu.edu or 757-643-7310.

We look forward to seeing you on July 16th at the University of Richmond!

Please review your lunch choices before registering..
