To the AIChE Mid-Atlantic Region
Student Chapter Presidents and Chapter Advisors,

This is a *reminder* that the early registration deadline for the regional
conference is about *a week* *away* (11:59 PM February 14th)! Now's the
time to make concrete plans to travel to the regional conference with your
chapter -- we've already seen dozens of registration tickets purchased!

As a promotion for early registration (easier planning!):
For *every* five students from your school that completes the early
registration,
we'll reimburse your chapter 10% of the five-person registration total
($30).
Will be given as cash at the conference. You could use the money to...cover
travel costs, purchase alcohol (for lab experiments, of course), or save it
for your chapter's future needs!

*The Regional Conference -- What and Why?*
The 2014 AIChE Mid-Atlantic Regional Student Conference will be *at
the University of Virginia on the weekend of March 28-29th.* Between
professional development, chapter bonding, networking opportunities,
friendly competition, and a fun and memorable time -- *the regional
conference embodies everything AIChE is about.* Students will leave the
conference with new professional connections, valuable career advice,
exciting memories, and greater inspiration to participate and take
leadership in AIChE activities in the future.

This year at UVA, we endeavor to provide even greater professional
development and networking opportunity while maintaining the fantastic
social experience of previous conferences. With Syngenta as our Title
Sponsor and seven other huge chemical company
sponsors<http://www.che.virginia.edu/aiche/our-sponsors/> in
attendance, *our event is going to be bigger than ever. *Furthermore, UVA
is often ranked among the nation's most beautiful campuses, so take this
opportunity to travel and come see for yourself!


*Registration and Information*
You can register for the conference and find out more information online.

   - *Register here: Conference
Registration<http://www.aiche2014marc.eventzilla.net/>
   - Find more information here: AIChE at
UVA<http://www.che.virginia.edu/aiche/>

*Each individual student much purchase a registration ticket online. Upon
individual student registration, you will be asked if you are participating
in any of the four competition activities -- this is how we will follow up
with you about details for the competitions. After February 14th,
individual student registration price will go up to $70 until March 14th.
Registration after that is $80.
*Additionally, each chemE car team must purchase a chemE car ticket online
(responsibility of team captain or treasurer).



*Conference Competition Details *
There are four different competitions that students can participate in:

   1. *ChemE Jeopardy:* Chemical engineering trivia; teams qualify
   regionally to compete at the 2014 National Conference ChemE Jeopardy.
   2. *The Research Paper Competition:* Students present a paper to a panel
   of judges; 1st place paper can compete at the 2014 National Conference.
   3. *The Research Poster Competition:* Students present posters to other
   students, professors, and judges; awards go to the best three presentations.
   4. ***The ChemE Car Competition:* ChemE car teams compete at the
   regional conference to qualify for the 2014 National Conference ChemE Car
   Competition.

More information about the competitions and the individual activity sign-up
process can be found
here<http://www.che.virginia.edu/aiche/2014-aiche-mid-atlantic-regional-student-conference-rules/>
.
**ChemE Car Team's EDP must be submitted to the National AIChE Chapter by
February 28th. Details can be found on the national chapter's
website<http://www.aiche.org/community/students/chem-e-car/chem-e-car-competition-rules>
.


*Other Opportunities*
There are two other ways in which you can get involved behind the scenes

   1. Attending professors and chapter advisors can *volunteer as* *judges* for
   the Research Paper Competition, the Research Poster Competition or the
   ChemE Car Competition. Your help and experience will be appreciated by the
   students! Please email aiche.uva at gmail.com if you are interested in
   helping out while you are at the conference. Conference registration will
   be entirely reimbursed for judges!
   2. Your AIChE Student Chapter may be interested in *leading a workshop* on
   AIChE Student Chapter development and improvement. If you have advice for
   other chapters or would like to share some of your ideas and experience,
   this would be a good opportunity to get involved! Please email
   aiche.uva at gmail.com if your chapter is interested in leading a workshop.


*Logistical Details*
The two main important logistical points right now are listed below. More
on parking, schedule, and directions to come.

   - *Transportation:* Driving is recommended (flying into Charlottesville
   is expensive and flying into anywhere else requires costly car rental).
   - *Accommodations:* We have made hotel room reservations for the
   conference at several nearby hotels. Please check out the
website<http://www.che.virginia.edu/aiche/logistics/> and
   follow the instructions for booking your rooms with AIChE. The earlier you
   book, the more options you'll have!


Thanks for reading -- Please let us know (aiche.uva at gmail.com) if you have
any questions or concerns! We hope everything has been laid out clearly and
concisely, but don't hesitate to let us know if you have issues with
anything. Again, all information is available from our website: AIChE
at UVA<http://www.che.virginia.edu/aiche/>

Best,

Colvin Wang
