general information Registration Fees n Summer Council (July 16 18) $595 Includes all meetings and social events Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday for presidents, chancellors, spouses, partners, other family members and personal guests. n Women Presidents and Chancellors Program (July 15) $75 Women presidents and chancellors attending the Women Presidents Program on Friday, July 15, pay the $75 registration for either that one event alone or in addition to the Summer Council registration fee. n Workshop for Presidents and Chancellors: Recognizing and Averting Legal Quagmires (July 16) $125 Presidents and chancellors attending the Legal Workshop on Saturday, July 16, pay the $125 registration for either that one event alone or in addition to the Summer Council registration fee. n Youth Program Registration $50 AASCU plans activities for children (age 6 or older) and young people during the morning hours on Sunday and Monday while their parents are in sessions. The registration fee covers charges associated with hiring supervisors and paying for breakfast, beverages and expenses incurred arranging the group morning outings. Advance registration is required and parents must submit a release form before young people may participate. Youth program participants will enjoy breakfast with their parents before departing for activities. Experience has taught us that in many instances, the young people do not eat unless they are with one of their parents. This causes problems when they are hungry and away from the property on outings. They will return about noon, in time to meet their parents at the close of the morning sessions.

Delivering America s Promise AASCU s membership of more than 420 public colleges and universities are found throughout the United States and in Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. We range in size from 1,000 students to 44,000. We are found in the inner city, in suburbs, towns and cities, and in remote rural America. We include campuses with extensive offerings in law, medicine and doctoral education as well as campuses offering associate degrees to complement baccalaureate studies. We are both residential and commuter, and offer on-line degrees as well. Yet common to virtually every member institution are three qualities that define its work and characterize our common commitments. We are institutions of access and opportunity. We believe that the American promise should be real for all Americans, and that belief shapes our commitment to access, affordability and educational opportunity, and in the process strengthens American democracy for all citizens. We are student-centered institutions. We place the student at the heart of our enterprise, enhancing the learning environment and student achievement not only through teaching and advising, but also through our research and public service activities. We are stewards of place. We engage faculty, staff and students with the communities and regions we serve helping to advance public education, economic development and the quality of life for all with whom we live and who support our work. We affirm that America s promise extends not only to those who come to the campus but to all our neighbors. We believe that through this stewardship and through our commitments to access and opportunity and to our students, public colleges and universities effectively and accountably deliver America s promise. In so doing we honor and fulfill the public trust. 1307 New York Avenue, NW Fifth Floor Washington, DC 20005-4701 202.293.7070 fax 202.296.5819 aascu.org June 2011
