Registration
First and foremost, there is no cost to apply to SJTI. We trust that you will be timely in letting us know if you are unable to attend if you are chosen. Payment is due after you are notified that you have been accepted as a participant. Cost of registration is $450.00 per person. This includes your housing, food and institute expenses. This does not cover your travel/transportation costs. If you are interested in participating, the deadline for applications is March 3, 2008. Our hope is to notify applicants of our decisions by March 13, 2008. Since there is a limit of 60 participants, we will be intentional in selecting participants to create a balance in social group identities as much as possible. The Employee Identification Number for SJTI is: 20-8019329. Your institution might need this number for tax purposes. PayPal payments are accepted but please note that there is a 5% surcharge in addition to the $450.00 fee. Registration questions should be directed to: Jessica Pettitt (our Administrative Coordinator) sjtiadmin@jessicapettitt.com.
Confirmation that you will be attending the institute is due by March 28, 2008. Please know that we have a waiting list and hope that you will let us know as soon as possible if you cannot attend. The dates of SJTI are Thursday, May 22, 2008 - Sunday, May 25, 2008.
Please note: All payments are non-refundable.
