Registration Form
We at the National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition invite you to exhibit with us.
Conferences and institutes are attended by faculty members, academic deans, campus chief executive officers, student affairs professionals, counselors, learning specialists, first-year program directors, institutional researchers, assessment practitioners, and students from two-year and four-year colleges and universities. Many participants will be in the process of making immediate decisions about course texts, technology resources, assessment resources, and other materials, and many will be unfamiliar with the range of publications, products, and services now available.
The National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition at the University of South Carolina has as its mission to support and advance efforts to improve student learning and transitions into and through higher education.
Companies/organizations are invited to co-sponsor special events, regularly scheduled refreshment breaks, receptions, and other items with the conference organizers and other groups. Recognition will be provided in the conference program book and with signage at sponsored events.
Due to an increase in demand for exhibit space, only two booths are allowed per company/organization for all National Resource Center conferences.

The National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition at the University of South Carolina reserves the right to refuse requests for any and all (a) exhibit booth space and (b) advertisement space in event program booklets for Center-sponsored events that are not consistent with the National Resource Center’s mission and goals.
In order to provide exhibitors with a formal setting for networking with the higher education community, the National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience® and Students in Transition offers exhibitors the opportunity to make presentations during each event. Presentation proposals will only be accepted from registered exhibitors and registration does not guarantee that a proposal will be accepted for presentation. Please be aware that the schedule may not allow for more than one presentation per company/organization.
In order to provide conference attendees with additional information about our exhibitors, we are including descriptions of our exhibitors in the conference program booklet. Please submit a company logo (pdf. or jpg. file format), and a 50-word description/brief mission statement about your company for inclusion in the program booklet. Please e-mail the information to Nina Glisson at ninal@mailbox.sc.edu. Booth space will not be assigned until descriptions and logos are submitted.
The National Resource Center also offers exhibitors the opportunity to advertise in our conference program booklets. By purchasing an ad in the conference program, you place your message in front of conference attendees and all those who will view the program once the attendees return to their campuses. To purchase ad space, complete the ad space section on the Exhibit/Ad Space registration form. Payment and all materials must be received by the dates listed below for inclusion in the conference program. Materials will not be returned and become the property of the National Resource Center.
Please note: Advertisements in the Institute on First-Year Assessment program booklet are not available.
Electronic ads are preferred in either pdf. or jpg. file format; however, we will accept ads printed on a 600 dpi laser printer. Ads will not be returned, so advertisers should maintain copies for their files. Conference organizers reserve the right to review and approve ad copy.
