Dear Mr. Vann:

My name is Grace Butkowski, and I am the Logistics Coordinator for the Enhancing Quality Staff Symposium (EQS), which is happening this year on May 23, 2017.

The committee has decided to open 20 slots for students from MCTC and St. Kate's to attend the symposium at $30 each. We would appreciate it if you would mention this opportunity to your students.

In addition, we will be sending emails with information about the Symposium as we get closer to the event.

Best,

Grace Butkowski
