Dear Commission Members:

Greetings all! Hope you are having a great start to your Spring semesters. Here are a few upcoming deadlines you may want to note:

First: Make sure you get your proposals in for the National Conference by NEXT TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8! If you are considering submitting for a PRE-CONFERENCE workshop, make sure that you list it as your FIRST CHOICE format. Otherwise, it will not go to the correct review committee. To submit a proposal, visit www.nacada.ksu.edu/NationalConf/2005/index.htm on the NACADA web site. An online tutorial is available to help guide you through the proposal submission process.

Second: MARCH 7 is our next deadline for nominations for the new Advising Technology Innovation Awards. Information on the Innovation Awards can be found on the NACADA web site at www.nacada.ksu.edu/Awards/E_Publication.htm.
