<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"">I am pleased to announce that registration is now open for the 2016 Conference on Serving Military Connected Students in Higher Education, to be held on Friday, March
4, 2016 at the PHF Conference Center in Oklahoma City. Seating will be <b><i>very
</i></b>limited for this event, so early registration is encouraged. Our keynote speaker will be Nicole Green of Team Rubicon, who will talk about innovative ways to think about serving veterans in education. Additionally, we will have several breakout sessions,
covering topics ranging from working with students who have experienced trauma to the GI Bill to helping military connected students find employment in the public and private sectors after graduation. There is a registration fee of $50 per participant for
the event, which must be paid by P.O. or check. This fee includes continental breakfast and a hot lunch. The link to the registration form is
