Junior Seminar – Senior (18 & Older)

May 26, 2017 – May 26, 2017

500 Lutherlyn Lane

Map and Directions | Register

Description:

 

Because of an overwhelming amount of Senior applications received last year, the Junior Seminar Committee has decided to limit Senior attendance. Although we appreciate all of the senior support, this is a Junior event and we can only accommodate for a certain number of Seniors. The Junior Seminar Committee will be admitting Senior counselors based on the number of Juniors that attend. Therefore, we encourage Seniors to submit their applications as soon as possible, and also to work with their Junior chapters to increase attendance.
