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
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
[email protected] 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.
