New Year, New Directions

Hoping the New Year is starting off well! The theme of the 2015 Summer Institute is "New Directions" and embodies many of the exciting offerings the AHS is striving to provide for you.

The Executive Committee and 2015 Host Committee met in mid-January and toured the stunning facilities. We also had some famous USU Aggie Ice Cream.  Something perhaps to look forward to in June!  Be sure to check the website next month for information on registration, programming, travel, lodging, touring, and more.
