The Sunbelt Directors Meeting will be held in Charleston, SC, July 21 - 23, 2010.  The target audience for this meeting is student health services administrators who are interested in sharing experiences and concerns about college health in an informal setting. This year's meeting is being sponsored by the Southern College Health Association and co-hosted by Wake Forest University and the University of South Carolina. 

Agenda/Call for Topics:  As usual, the focus of the meeting will be on items of current and future interest to college health. Collective agenda setting and sharing concerns, knowledge and solutions among peers are hallmarks of the Sunbelt Meeting. Toward this end, participants are asked to identify agenda topics, agree to make presentations or lead discussions. If you would like to hear from knowledgeable colleagues on a particular subject ask them to step forward. Please email Natascha Romeo at romeonl@wfu.edu or Cecil Price at price@wfu.edu.
