Waitlist
Please do not be discouraged if you are waitlisted in an event. We are being conservative on our room allocations. We most likely are able to add more rooms.
Please be patient as we work through moving rooms or the schedule to accommodate as many students/events as our facility can hold. It does take time.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
