San Diego, CA Town & Country Resort Hotel

The Board of Directors of ANTSHE cordially invites you to sunny San Diego for a conference filled with valuable information, new insights and connections for professionals and non-traditional students.
The theme of our second annual conference is Celebrating the Non-Traditional Student in Higher Education, and our keynote speaker will be Dr. David Houle, Senior Vice-President, Sales & Marketing, University ACCESS, Los Angeles, who will speak to us in his keynote address, Let the Golden Age of Learning Begin! Dr. Houle combines a historical perspective of adult education with an explanation of the marvelous opportunities that are unfolding by combining video technology with internet delivery options. Dr. Houle has a unique perspective in the movement to meet non-traditional student needs through advanced electronic means.
During the Saturday luncheon (included in your conference fees) we will hear from experiential keynote speaker, Dr. Dennis Gersten, San Diego, who will offer insights on How to Become Enlightened Rather than Losing Your Mind when the stresses of the educational process are getting you down.
Students, professionals, alumni, businesses, and organizations ... please plan to join us in San Diego!
