Registration fees
In recognition of differing financial situations, we offer different registration tiers. It typically costs $70 per person to cover catering, classroom reservations, and speaker fees—the higher fees paid by full-time faculty help subsidize student attendees.
| Type of registration | Early (April 30) | Late (May 30) |
