Getting to Tucson
Participants in the past have flown directly into Tucson International
Airport. The Phoenix Sky Harbor
International Airport is located
about 2 hours from Tucson. Information on ground transportation can be
found on their respective websites. Rental car companies are located at both
airports. Taxi service and shuttles are available for transportation to the
hotel.
Registration
Cost of registration is $675.00. If you are interested in participating, the
deadline for applications is September 14, 2008. Our hope is to notify
applicants of our decisions by October 1, 2008. Since there is a limit of 25
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: *32-0246935*.
Your institution or place of work might need this number if you are
requesting a reimbursement from them. SJTI also has a PayPal account if you
need to pay using a credit card. Please note that there is a surcharge if
you use PayPal bringing registration to $720.
Registration questions should be directed to: Jessica Pettitt (our Administrative Coordinator) sjtiadmin@jessicapettitt.com.
After you submit your application, you should receive an “auto response” email from SJTI stating that your application is being processed. If you do not receive this email within 24 hours, contact Jessica to make sure that your application was received.
Cancellation Policy
Due to the fact that we select institute participants, 20 - 30 applicants
are not selected each time we hold an institute. As a result, we have
instituted the following cancellation policy. If you cancel your
registration 45 - 30 days from the first day of the institute, there is a
$100.00 penalty. If you cancel 12 - 30 days out, there is a $150.00 penalty.
If you cancel under 15 days, there will be no refund. We do however honor
those who would like to "roll their registration fee payment over" and
attend a future institute. This "roll over" can only apply for the June 2009
and December 2009 institutes.
Scholarships
Each year, we offer a limited number of $100.00 scholarships that will be
used to offset the cost of the institute. These scholarships are based on
financial need. We are hoping to model the concept of "Ubuntu", the
honoring of the community over the individual and the sharing of resources
for the good of all. In this spirit we ask that you reflect on needs in
relation to those of others. If you are interested in this scholarship,
please complete that section on the on-line application.
Future Institutes
Another institute will be held in Springfield, MA in June of 2009.
Information on this institute will be posted after January 15, 2009.
