We encourage every campus group to send at least one representative (if not more!) and we are keeping the costs down to make sure this is possible. Registration, room, and board for the entire three day event costs only $35 for interested students. We are also making a limited number of travel and registration grants available, based on need, to make sure every group can send a representative even if they lack the resources to do so.

The registration form and grant application can be found at http://www.campusfreethought.org/SLC2006.pdf.

So what are you waiting for? E-mail Thomas Donnelly at tdonnelly@centerforinquiry.net to register or to ask for more information today!
