Thanks for reactivating!

Good energy, all. I agree that this is especially important at this year's conference when we'll miss having many of you on site with us. Your work behind the scenes makes it all happen and this is a great tool to stay connected.

Registration Hits 1,000!




Today registration for SCUP-44 hit the four digit mark, 1,000 and we celebrated with a pizza party!

Thanks to everyone for all their hard work to get us to this point! Thanks to SCUP for providing the pizza and the opportunity to celebrate!

SCUP STAFF ROCK!

44 Dress Code

I didn't have a copy of the dress code from last year, but I found it on gaia. In case others were wondering the same thing, here it is:

SCUP Annual Conference
Dress Code

Our standard conference working attire is business casual, with comfortable shoes being the most important consideration. Dressier business attire is appropriate for those who are leading meetings, roundtables, etc. with members and attendees.

During periods where you will be working registration or setting up, clean pressed khaki pants, tennis shoes, and a nice shirt may be worn. When choosing a shirt, please keep in mind that you are the face of scup and need to look professional. No T-shirts.

Set up on Thursday and Friday at the convention center can be more casual - shorts/capris are ok. Registration opens at 3pm on Friday, if working registration you may bring clothes to the convention center to change into.



Thanks to SCUP leadership for a dress code that focuses on comfort! Nothing better to keep us going than comfortable shoes!

SCUP Staff Rocks! Blog Back by Popular Demand

Hello all!

We have heard you loud and clear so the SCUP Staff Rocks! blog that was started last year is returning! Jennifer and I have agreed to work from both SCUP office (Portland and Ann Arbor) to keep the blog alive through SCUP-44. Since we had to limit the number of staff going to Portland due to the economy the blog will be even more important to stay connected with one another. I've agreed to post stuff that's happening in Portland and Jennifer has agreed to keep us posted on what's happening in Ann Arbor.

I look forward to sharing all the excitment, heartache, and exhaustion of SCUP-44 and can't wait to read posts on what's happening at home to keep me going through the long days!

Thanks!
April
