We heard Region III is the place to be! Let's see what it's all about…
"I enjoyed working with everyone on the committee and seeing the hard work we all performed result in a great conference"
"A great TEAM = a great conference for everyone."
"It was rewarding to be apart of putting things together! Collaborating and making new friends with people around the region"
"I had the opportunity to present for the first time in front of such a welcoming group! Everyone I met was so kind and eager to connect."
"This enthusiastic group is easy to find a place in!"
"I was able to find a Graduate Assistant position here, as well as many new friends."
"I loved it so much the first time that I joined the planning committee the next year! Seeing what the students are capable of is incredible"
