College and University Student
Rates for the National Genealogical Society 2013 Family History Conference
Las Vegas, Nevada, 8–11 May
2013
Building New Bridges
Arlington, VA, 13 February 2013: The National Genealogical
Society announces that effective 13 February 2013 qualifying students may
register for discounted rates for the NGS 2013 Family History Conference, Building
New Bridges, which will be held 8–11 May 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Student
rates for full conference registration with flash-drive syllabus will be $50
(member) and $60 (nonmember), with no price adjustments for late or single-day
registrations.
NGS
offers the special student price to encourage all interested and qualifying
students to see how they might incorporate genealogical methods into their
research and how they may, in turn, apply knowledge from their fields to
genealogy. These
special rates are nearly 75% off regular registration rates.
To
qualify, students must submit a letter on college or university letterhead signed
by the dean or department chair confirming the student’s current admittance,
good standing, and full-time status in an undergraduate or graduate
degree-seeking program at a regionally accredited institution of higher
learning. Students who are enrolled in diploma or certificate programs,
continuing education programs, lifetime learning programs, or at institutions
not regionally accredited do not qualify.
At
conference check-in qualifying students must also present a current student
identification and a current
government-issued photo identification. The student ID must be consistent with
the letter confirming student status. Qualifying students will have all rights
and privileges of full conference registration.
Qualifying
students interested in obtaining the student rate should scan the confirmation
letter and e-mail it to the NGS conference registrar Courtney Holmes at
cholmes@ngsgenealogy.org or fax it to her attention at 703-525-0052. Students
may also bring all qualifying documents (the confirmation letter and both
identifications) to the conference and register on-site at the LVH—Las Vegas
Hotel & Casino
for no additional fee.
Students
who wish to purchase a print syllabus or meals or social events must pay full
price for these items online before 22 April 2013 after consulting with
Courtney. Students cannot obtain the
special rate if they register directly through the conference website.
Students may view the
searchable program at http://members.ngsgenealogy. org/Conferences/Program2013. cfm and the PDF brochure at http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/ cs/conference_info. The brochure offers
information about sessions, tours, pre-conference events, on-site registration,
and details for hotel registration at the LVH. The 2013 Student Registration
Form can be downloaded from the NGS website at http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/ galleries/new-gallery/2013_ Student_Registration_Form.pdf.
