Registration & Other Important Info. |
The Kennesaw Pride Alliance would like to extend an invitation to you or your organization to attend the 2011 Summit at Kennesaw State University on November 4th - 6th. The Summit consists of students, faculty, staff, and student organization advisers all coming together for the common goal of learning and networking while being a member of the LGBT community. The Summit features diverse LGBT speakers and round table discussions focusing on how to improve campus climate.
This year we have exciting new changes and are opening up the conference to neighboring schools outside the state of Georgia as well as providing specific round tables to faculty and staff as well as advisers. We have also changed the location of the conference on campus. Summit will take place in the Social Sciences building.The Commons is a two story complex and has become quite popular with the students for its an "all you can eat" style dining experience. As lunch breaks during the conference we encourage participants to dine with us in the Commons for it is not only convenient, but delicious.
If you or your organization would like to attend the 2011 Summit, feel free to register as an individual or a group.
Upon registration, the Kennesaw Pride Alliance will email you or your organization the conference itinerary and a travel packet. The packet will include discounted hotel rates to accommodate your stay either next to campus or within the city of Atlanta.
