I don't know about your campuses (campii?), but we've got more than 125 events scheduled during October, including Homecoming activies, a Faculty Symposium and Philosophy Teach-In.
I get tired just thinking about it.
One of the things that always makes October bearable, though, is the start of the Regional Meetings. They're like our own private little "midterm breaks" that help us refresh and renew our collective professional spirits and help us push on to the end of the semester.
Here's the Regional Meeting lineup!
Region 11 is taking the early lead on October 4-6 at Harrisburg Area Community College (PA). Michael Baker is putting together a great programming lineup. Questions can be directed to him at mdbaker(at)hacc(dot)edu.
Region 2 is pulling double duty this year and is offering "two locations, one great day!" on October 8. They're run concurrent meetings at UC Davis and UCLA. Efficiency at its best. Contact Director-Elect Jason Walley at jwalley(at)ha(dot)ucla(dot)edu for more info.
The folks of Region 6 will be meeting up in BlueJay Country when they gather at Creighton University (NE) on October 15-16. Jana Ammon can provide more information for anyone who's interested. Contact her at janaammon(at)creighton(dot)edu.
A spin-off from the Annual Conference, Region 8 is adding an Act of Caring to their 2009 Regional Meeting, being held October 21-23. Their Act of Caring will benefit Kids Food Basket, a charity dedicated to attacking childhood hunger. Cindi Winowiecki will be hosting the meeting at Grand Valley State University (MI). Contact Cindi at winowiec(at)gvsu(dot)edu.
St. Mary's College of Maryland will play host to the Region 10 Meeting on October 22-23. Regional Leaders Rick Glass and Pamela Mathias are working hard to put together a great meeting for our mid-east members. Contact Rick at rglass(at)richmond(dot)edu for more information.
Marking the halfway point are those "Wild, Wild Westerners" of Region 4. They will be headed to UC Boulder for their October 23 Regional Meeting. From recent weather reports, they may have to make time for some skiing! Marci Healy or Marilyn Spittler have a great day lined up. Contact Marci at mhealy(at)guesthouse(dot)utah(dot)edu.
Moving around the far curve into November, Region 1 takes the lead at Seattle University (WA) on November 4-6. Kathleen Kelly and her crew would love to see the whole region for their meeting. She can be reached at kellyk(at)seattleu(dot)edu.
Running neck-in-neck with their neighbors from across the country , Region 12 will be gathering in the Green Mountain State. They will meet on November 5-6 at the University of Vermont. Regional Leaders Norma Charette and Shane Cutler are looking forward to a great meeting. Contact Shane at shane(dot)cutler(at)uvm(dot)edu.
Gathering on the campus of Duke University (NC) on November 8-10 is Region 9. In addition to enjoying the cameraderie and education sure to grow out of their meeting, maybe they'll be able to enjoy some of the great fall colors that the region has to offer! Questions can be directed to Jim Hodges at jim(dot)hodges(at)duke(dot)edu.
Region 5 brings us into the homestretch with their meeting in America's Dairyland at Ripon College (WI) on November 12-13. Kim Araya and her Region 5 leadership team are working hard to plan a great couple of days for this international region. Contact her at araya001(at)umn(dot)edu.
Crossing the finish line on November 19-20 is Region 7. Hosted by Trinity University (TX), this promises to be a big event...because everything's bigger in Texas! Contact Director-Elect Ofelia Dominguez at
odominguez(at)utep(dot)edu for details.
We hope that these fabulous fall Regional Meetings help train you for the "big race" in Louisville in March. The ACCED-I Staff along with Conference Chair Jack Raab and his team are working very hard putting together what promises to be a first-place program.
So riders, take your marks, because soon we'll be...
