    SUBJECT: SUS Regional Admissions Workshops
    ______________________________________________________________________________
      
    Staff members of the Board of Governors and the State University System Admission
    Directors cordially invite you to attend one of the regional admissions workshops
    scheduled around the state in fall 2007. Seven universities will host a workshop for
    their region. In addition to the university Admission Directors, representatives from
    the Department of Education will be participating in the workshops. This is the twenty-
    second year for these regional workshops and attendance in the past has been excellent.
     
    We strongly encourage you to participate in these workshops and join us in our efforts
    to improve our service to the citizens of Florida through education. The intention of the
    workshops is to inform middle and high school guidance counselors about the
    philosophy, various policies, and procedures involved in transitioning through the K-20
    system. With that understanding, guidance counselors will be better equipped to meet
    the needs of their students during this critical transition time. There will be time
    allotted to allow guidance counselors the opportunity to ask specific questions about
    admissions and other related matters.
     
    The locations and dates in the attached schedule were planned to make the workshop
    accessible to educators across the state. Please note that while light refreshments were
    provided in the past, this year’s budget restraints will prohibit any refreshments or
    meals. All participants are encouraged to bring their own drinks or snacks.
    Universities recognize this is a tight budget year for everyone. They, however, did not
    want to cancel the programs as they feel that it is important to meet counselors
    throughout the state and answer questions.
     
    Make plans early and register as soon as possible because some sites fill up faster than
    others. You may refer to the attached schedule of workshops to determine which site
    will be the most convenient for you to attend. Once a workshop reaches maximum
    capacity, participants will need to register for a different site.
