> As many of you know, this will be one of our first National 
> Association of Blind Students in-person events since the beginning of 
> the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are ecstatic to gather with some of our 
> NABS family once again. The ever-changing state of our world over the 
> last two years has been an immensely difficult time for many, and we 
> hope that this year's seminar, fittingly entitled "Back in Action," 
> provides attendees with the opportunity to learn and grow alongside 
> many students from across the region who find themselves in similar situations.

> The registration link for our event is below, and we invite you to get

> .Each attendee is responsible for a $100 registration fee, payable to 
> NABS, which will cover meals throughout the weekend as well as 
> administrative expenses necessary to support this event. We encourage 
> you to proactively reach out to your vocational rehabilitation agency 
> and/or National Federation of the Blind state affiliate to help offset 
> this expense. This fee is due by the time registration closes on 
> Tuesday, February 15, 2022 at
> 11:59 PM CST. Until we receive both your registration form response 
> and this fee, your spot is not guaranteed.
> 
> .Please note that all attendees will need to submit proof of a 
> negative COVID test within 60 hours of our event's start, regardless 
> of vaccination status. This proof will need to be submitted to a 
> designated party no later than noon on Friday, March 18, 2022. 
> Additionally, masks will be required during any/all 2022 Midwest Student Seminar activities.

> .Finally, we will not be assigning roommates for this event. We are 
> more than happy to support you in finding a roommate if you require 
> assistance, which you can indicate on the registration form linked 
> below; however, if you do not either take the initiative to procure a 
> roommate or reach out for assistance, you will be responsible for the 
> hotel expense of $109 + applicable taxes and fees for each night of the event.
