Education Resource Center

Marriott Rose Foyer
Friday, June 11, 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm; Saturday, June 12, 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm

The Education Resource Center will be a space where students and those interested in continuing their pursuit of glass education may come to pick up materials and information. All educational facilities: universities, colleges, public access studios, summer programs, studios, etc., who offer instruction in glass-working and wish to be represented in the Education Resource Center are requested to provide literature. Each school is also encouraged to send a representative to be present to answer questions during the conference. 

If you want to bring your handouts and drop them off early, or to ship materials ahead of time, please contact the GAS office for shipping information.

School Presentations Forum

Degree Programs - Marriott Skybox; Non-Degree Programs - Marriott Rose Foyer
Saturday, June 12, 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

All schools, both college level programs and non-degree programs, are also invited to participate in the School Presentations forum. The Education Committee of the Glass Art Society Board has decided to provide a new format for Louisville based on member participant feedback. Rather than specific time slots for individual presentations, GAS will be providing space for everyone to present at the same time, similar to a college recruitment event, Job Fair or Convention. Each educational representative who has signed up in advance (see below) will be provided an area so potential students can walk around, hear presentations of interest to them and ask questions. Degree programs will be in the Skybox room and Non-Degree Programs will be in the Education Resource Center area. A Teacher, Recruitment Officer or Educational Director must make the presentations and answer questions. A student may accompany you to assist with your presentation however please do not send students in your place.

Guidelines - School Presentations Forum
  1. Educator/Administrator/Recruitment Staff, please be prepared to discuss not only your facilities and equipment, but also more encompassing aspects of the program such as but not limited to: the goals of the program, student life, tuition costs, other programs within the schools, and have images of the teachers and student's works. With no specific time slot, and prospective students circulating on their own, your presentation can be as long as you like. You may also choose to have presentation discs available to give away to potential students.
  2. We advise you bring laptops or other devices to assist in your presentations. Please ensure your batteries are fully charged or have extra on hand as GAS cannot guarantee the availability of power outlets and will not provide extension cords.
  3. You must be present, set up and ready to meet with potential students promptly at 2:00 pm when the presentation period starts and remain for the duration of the session which ends at 4:00 pm. Any school that does not follow this rule may not be allowed to present the following year.
  4. Please feel free to bring any additional handouts or promotional materials that are appropriate to highlight your program.


Contact Geoff Isles at islesglass@aol.com to sign up for a space or to ask questions. Every attempt will be made to accommodate everyone but space will be assigned on a first-come first-served basis. Schools that sign up by March 15th will be listed in the Conference Program Book.


 
Please note that GAS does not provide a conference pass for participation in the Education Resource Center or School Presentations Forum. All participants must obtain their own conference pass as well as be current members of GAS through June 2010. The Glass Art Society reserves the right to deny applications for any GAS related event or membership form anyone for any reason.
