Click here to view a tentative agenda for the events. Please note that registration will include a catered lunch, but there will be no supper provided at the event in order to keep registration costs low and allow teams to get home sooner.
Please note that due to continued growth of PAS competitions, each student attending Spring Conference will only be allowed to register for one Individual contest, one Team contest, and/or College Bowl. The registration form also now has a column to add notes for which students should be on teams together when a college sends more than one team in a specific contest.
As a reminder, if you have students wanting to run for 2026-2027 PAS Office, they will need to send me a resume and commitment form by Thursday, January 29, 2026. Click here to view Constitutional Amendments being proposed by the PAS Board of Directors as well.
Best Wishes as you begin your spring semesters!
