Re: A few reminders about the upcoming conference

Our Commission meeting is scheduled for an early time slot — Thursday, October 19 at 8:45 am in the Westin-Council Room. We'll discuss topics of interest, welcome Julie Stockenberg (Colorado College) as the incoming Chair, AND plan for our annual dinner outing. If you've attended other conferences, you know how good it is to talk with other small college folks; if you've not, please plan to join us for great conversation and networking.

BLESSINGS on the conference planners for scheduling our meeting early, so we can connect with each other!

Lots of other sessions aimed especially at small colleges will be offered in Indy. Check them out on the web at www.nacada.ksu.edu/Commissions/C08/events.htm and www.nacada.ksu.edu/NationalConf/2006/tracks/smallcolleges.htm. Use the conference Interactive Schedule Planner to get a head start on identifying the sessions you don't want to miss in Indy.

And don't miss Marti Hemwall and Kent Trachte's pre-conference workshop.  I was a participant several years ago, and it is WONDERFUL — thought-provoking, practical, well-presented and organized, and aimed at small colleges. This one is NOT TO BE MISSED. It's not too late to add to your registration -- www.nacada.ksu.edu/NationalConf/2006/index.htm -- and it is WELL WORTH the small extra fee. 

Hope to see you in Indy.

PS: Current chair Bill Van Dusen is dealing with increased job responsibilities due to unexpected resignations -- so he's asked me to send this message.
