The 7th annual ESRI Education User Conference, or EdUC, will be June 16-19 in San Diego. EdUC is the largest GIS education event in the country, with an audience of teachers, researchers, librarians, and administrators. One of the events is an Academic GIS Program Fair, which is a great opportunity to see what other attendees are doing with GIS.
To find out more, the website is at http://www.esri.com/educ. There is also a blog at http://blogs.esri.com/roller/page/ucblog to keep up to date with speakers and events. The deadline to register is April 27, so you can wait until GIS training is complete before registering.
Also check out how you can involve your seniors in EdUC.

Is anyone considering this? Now that we've gotten a taste of GIS and its possibilities, I think this meeting might be a wonderful opportunity to see it "in action", and give us some insight on how we can actually bring it to our campus. Vital questions: would our individual departments have to fund us?

Lisa - I think it would depend on your department whether you would have to seek funding through them or elsewhere.
I would love to go, but I'll be at another conference in DC. Trust me, I'd go to San Diego in a heartbeat! But I think it would be great to have a representative there.
