    SUBJECT: SUS Regional Admissions Workshops
     
      
    Staff members of the Board of Governors and the State University System (SUS)
    Admission Directors cordially invite you to attend one of the regional admissions
    workshops scheduled around the state in fall 2008. Eight universities will host a
    workshop for their region. Admissions Directors recognize this is a tight budget year
    for everyone; however, they feel that the opportunity to meet counselors throughout the
    state and answer questions is too important to miss.
     
    In addition to the university Admission Directors, representatives from the Board of
    Governors and the Department of Education will be participating in the workshops.
    This is the twenty-third 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. Due to budget restraints, only beverages will be
    offered. All participants are encouraged to bring their own drinks or snacks.
     
    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.
     
    For workshop registration, schedule, and other workshop information, please visit

    receive a confirmation of their registration once they have completed the process.
    Check-in will start at 8:00 a.m. and presentations will begin promptly at 8:30 a.m.
     
    These meetings are an integral part of the State's effort to keep our students engaged in
    education beyond high school in Florida. Thank you for all you do for the students in
    our state.
