Registration CLOSED for the 4th - OPEN events on the 2nd and the 3rd

We want to thank everybody who registered for the 2009 Michigan Social Justice Conference! Sadly, we have reached our maximum capacity for the main conference day (April 4th) and can no longer accept registrations for that day*. However, we have great events on the 2nd and the 3rd (see below) leading up to the conference. These are open events and ALL are welcome (registrants + nonregistrants). 

Again, thanks to all. We look forward to an exciting weekend!

~The UMSJC Planning Team

*Just so there is no misunderstanding, there will be NO onsite registration on the 4th. Only those that have registered individually ahead of time will be admitted.
