The Shelly Cashman Series Summer Institute takes place July 13th -18th, 2008 at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. The Institute consists of five days of hands-on instruction on the latest topics in technology taught by the Series authors themselves. The 2008 course offerings will focus on the intermediate to advanced level of the core Microsoft Office 2007 Applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access. We will also feature courses on the new Adobe CS3 and Visual Basic 2008.

CEUs are available at $15 for 3.5 credits to those who attend classes for the full five days. MCAS testing will be available at $32 per test.

Evening activities will be offered throughout the week both on-campus and off-campus.

We do hope that you will join us at Indiana University this summer.

Important Tips:
The Shelly Cashman Series Summer Institute takes place in the beautiful collegial setting of Indiana University which, like many sprawling campuses, requires a considerable amount of walking between school buildings to get to the labs and Student Union building over the course of the week. Please be advised that we strongly recommend that you wear comfortable walking shoes (such as sneakers). You will be responsible for getting to and from the lab buildings and the Student Union building on your own. We will not be offering on-campus golf cart, or other, transportation to and from these buildings.

Lodging and Bus Transportation:
Due to limited availability at the on-campus hotel, the Indiana Memorial Union, we will be offering two additional local hotels as preferred lodging for this event. We have reserved a block of rooms at the Hampton Inn and Hilton Garden Inn, each located just off campus. We will be offering shuttle transportation Sunday - Friday to and from the campus for those staying at the Hampton Inn and Hilton Garden Inn. If you choose to stay at an alternate location you will be responsible for your own transportation to and from the campus
