Hi all!
Lin (University of Iowa) and I are presenting at NAFSA regional next week in Chicago. I believe Chaney (Northwestern) you are too?
Is anybody else attending and interested in a very informal get-together?
My phone is 218-343-3910 and I'll be arriving Wednesday morning.
There is also a Big Ten Meet up organized by Kathryn from our office in case you did not get the invite:
There was good interest in a Big Ten meet-up at the biregional NAFSA conference and I am excited to meet everyone.
There was a strong interest in meeting for breakfast, so the meet-up will be for breakfast on Thursday, October 31. I'll be at the Schaumburg Public House https://schaumburgpublichouse.com/ at the hotel starting at 7:30. I'll have a name tag and a sign. You're welcome to come when you're ready. Sessions start at 9, so we'll probably wrap up by about 8:45.
If you have last minute questions or trouble finding the group, my cell is 704-995-6758.
