2008 Conference Participant Information

General Information

Students and teachers, grades 9-12, are invited to participate in the 17th annual High School Conference on the Environment. The Wisconsin Center for Environmental Education at UW-Stevens Point is proud to host this leadership skill-building opportunity.

Each school may send up to eight students to the conference. Participants serve as "ambassadors" from their school and are expected to bring a poster exhibit to share. Teachers are encouraged to recruit students who have an active interest in the environment and who show leadership potential. Individual students or non school-based groups are also encouraged to participate. It is expected that all participants will remain at the conference for the entire program.

All participating groups are expected to meet the Conference Preparation Requirements which include completing a pre-assignment and creating a poster to bring to the event.

The cost of the conference, which includes lunch, is $15 per person if postmarked on or before October 1, 2008 and $20 per person if postmarked after October 1, 2008. Groups have been turned away due to high demand in the past. Registration will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. The final deadline for conference registration is October 15, 2008.

Transportation support and substitute teacher reimbursement are available to a limited number of groups so register early if you would like to be considered for these opportunities.
