Make sure to sign the attendance sheet for points.
Around 25 students attended conference! Jessica and Ming presented at Passages and were amazing. The booth was a success. The “Peace, Love and Music Therapy” stickers came in and look great. The bracelets will come in this week. We will sell them at Music Therapy Awareness Week at all information tables and at Art 6. There are still some t-shirts left. We may place another order after MT Awareness Week.
If you go to TWU.edu and search for “student travel,” you will find the form for the student travel fund. You must submit the form with receipts to receive reimbursement for conference registration, lodging, gas, and food. The deadline is April 8th. You must submit 24 copies of the form, the original receipts, and two copies of each receipt. More information will be sent out from the gmail account.
NATS is April 9th from 9am to 1pm. More people are needed to help monitor. The signup sheet is on the bulletin board.
