Subject: AAHPERD Graduate Student Leadership Conference

=20

Greetings Colleagues:

=20

AAHPERD will be hosting a graduate student leadership development conference October 12-15 2006 at our headquarters in Reston, VA. All of the Associations of AAHPERD will be participating in this conference and we are seeking a diverse cadre of student participation. Please encourage graduate students you know who are AAHE and/or AAHPERD members to apply (masters or doctoral students - that meet full-time status requirements at your institution). The application information is below my signature line.=20

=20

It is anticipated that the limited space will not accommodate all of the applicants - so applying does not mean a firm commitment (if for example, the student is unsure s/he can afford the trip). A firm commitment will need to be made in September for those who have their applications accepted. At that time we may have been able to identify some assistance in funding for student travel (as various state, district and national associations of AAHPERD have indicated willingness to help fund travel for one or more students). By September, the student may also find out if their institution will support some or all of the cost of attending

=20

So - please spread the word! We hope to have many applicants by the June 30 deadline.

Thank you for your assistance.
