Registration

Registration for the PUP is not required. It is, however, very much appreciated by the planners as we’d like to ensure that we have enough food and promotional items. Registration will ensure that we have a food wrist band reserved for you.

Volunteers

We need 50 faculty to volunteer at least two hours (preferably ½ day) to assist with setting up, helping faculty find rooms, registering participants, troubleshooting and clean up. 

Event Planner

The Event Planner enables you to look over the schedule including the discipline cluster room assignments and to print out a schedule for yourself. What a great way to save yourself the hassle of trying to figure out where to go next!
