Greetings! The Honors Program of The College of St. Scholastica cordially invites the honors students, administrators, and faculty from your institution to participate in the 2013 Upper Midwest Regional Honors Conference in Duluth, Minnesota. The conference will be held from April 18-20.
The theme for the conference this year is “Steering for Deep Waters.” The conference title is adapted from a poem by Walt Whitman, and was chosen to (1) highlight our location on the beautiful shores of Lake Superior with its shipping industry and (2) express figuratively the intellectual and moral curiosity, courage, and creativity required to explore the world through honors with its attendant risks and satisfactions.
The website for the conference is currently under construction; the address is www.css.edu/HonorsConf. The website will allow you to register for the conference; submit abstracts for presentations and posters; view drafts of the program; and obtain information about hotel options, costs, and contacts. Make sure to mention the Upper Midwest Honors Council Conference for discounted rates at the hotels.
Here are some dates and details that you might find useful now:
February 1, 2013: Website ready to accept registrations (credit card or check) and abstracts.
March 1, 2013: Abstracts and early registrations due at $60 per student, $70 per faculty member (same cost as last year). Registrations after March 1 will be assessed a $10 late fee per student and faculty member.
