year's Big Ten Alliance Faculty Governance Leadership Conference on October 26 -28,
2017. The conference starts with a Welcome Reception at the Nittany Lion Inn at the
Penn State room at 6:00 p.m., Thursday, October 26th, and ends with a noon lunch on
Saturday, October 28th.

To finalize our arrangements we are requesting information about your travel plans,
food preferences and the topics you are most interested in discussing. Please share
this link with your Senate Officers and ask each person attending the conference to
fill out the Conference Registration Survey linked

A block of hotel rooms has been reserved at the Nittany Lion Inn on campus for the
meeting participants.  Attendees should use the booking code BIGT17D.  Reservations
can be made by calling 1-800-233-7505. It is important that they provide the code to
the person taking reservations or mention the event name: Big Ten Academic Alliance.

I'm looking forward to meeting you and a productive exchange of ideas.
