  • You should register with the link emailed to your account on file.  Do not register with the link on the DNP website. Accepted CEU participants will need to register and pay the registration fee by September 12, 2018. If you are unable to attend, please use this form or email Dr. Lesher.
  • The main DNP webpage HAW18 contains detailed information about the venue and travel around the island. This includes a discounted rate for a shuttle from Kona Airport to the hotel.
  • The Physics GRE will be offered in Hilo on October 27th >shown here<. You must register at the ETS website to take the exam. This exam, transportation to/from the exam, and the registration fee is not covered by the DNP fees. The CEU program is not organizing any part of the GRE. Seats are very limited so please make sure you have a seat before confirming your participation in the CEU program. <NOTE> I believe this site is now full. There are other sites in Hawaii you can check as flights between the Island are inexpensive.

Students who have already presented their project at a CEU poster session or with advance projects are encouraged to submit an abstract for a DNP oral presentation with the regular July 02 deadline.

Priority may be given to junior and senior students and those who have not previously attended a CEU conference.

Target Date:  All application materials must be received by Wednesday, August 01, 2018.
