Registration Information

Important: We ask that you register for morning and afternoon sessions for the purposes of preparing the appropriate number of handouts and other materials. We also ask that you rsvp for lunches and the closing reception so we may order enough food to accommodate everyone. Coffee and tea will be available each morning at 8:30 am.

Note: Upon registration you will receive a copy of the May College program through campus mail.

Questions: For questions or comments, please contact Eileen LaCourse at the Center for Teaching & Learning, ext. 5981 or at ctl@stlawu.edu

Faculty Compensation Information: Because the work of May College is so important to your teaching, and demands your time and focused attention after commencement ceremonies, faculty will be compensated with a $300 stipend. This payment will be included in the June 2008 paycheck.
