[Oacrao-l] Registration Now Open for the 2016 Conference on Serving Military Connected Students in Higher Education

[Foster, Kyle]

Good morning!


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 very 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 https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2016-military-conf.



I would also like to announce a new listserv for those interested in learning more about issues affecting military connected students in higher education.  If you were part of the email distribution list formerly maintained by Adrienne Proffer, you have already been added to the listserv.  If you were not on that list and would like to join the new listserv, just visit http://lists.onenet.net/mailman/listinfo/ok-he-vets to subscribe.  If you are on the list and no longer wish to receive emails from me, there are also instructions at this link on how to unsubscribe.



We are tremendously excited about this conference!  It's going to be a great opportunity for professional development and a chance for all of us to learn more about serving a very important population in higher education.  More details, including a full agenda, will be sent out as the event draws closer.



I hope to see you on March 4th!



Best,
