Message to students,

As blind students, we are encountering unique daily realities that often
remain unrecognized or misunderstood by the people around us. The National
Association of Blind Students is thrilled to invite you to dive "Deeper than
the Surface" with us as we explore these shared experiences with students
from all over the region. It will be an engaging weekend packed with
opportunities to challenge your perceptions and network with blind peers and
mentors alike. You can expect a mix of interactive activities,
thought-provoking conversations, and riveting presentations-with topics
covering everything from securing accommodations to finding identity as a
blind person. Ultimately, this journey promises to empower you to identify
new ways of living the life you want. Regardless of where you are in your
education, we hope you'll join us for a weekend of growth and fun!

 

Registration closes on Wednesday, March 1, 2023, Please note the following:

. Each attendee is responsible for a $100 registration fee, payable to the
NFB of Illinois, which will cover meals throughout the weekend as well as
administrative expenses necessary to support this event. NABS encourages
students to proactively reach out to their 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. Until NABS receive
both the registration form response and this fee,  a spot is not guaranteed.

. Masks will be required during any/all 2023 Midwest Student Seminar
activities except while eating or drinking.

. Finally, NABS will not be assigning roommates for this event. However,
NABS is more than happy to support students in finding a roommate if they
require assistance, which they can indicate on the registration form linked
below; however, if they do not either take the initiative to procure a
roommate or reach out for assistance, participants will be responsible for
the hotel expense of $99 + applicable taxes and fees for each night of the
event.
