For those who have not seen this, the registration schedule for Samford University's Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research's ten courses has been released. They stagger the courses in order to not overload the system. They also can sell out within minutes of the registration opening. In that case do get on the waitlist since things do happen between January 22 and June 9. The courses themselves are offered concurrently June 9-14. You receive an in-depth education on the topic and get to know your classmates and instructors in a campus atmosphere. Many friendships and lasting collegial relationships are formed at institutes where you study and eat together. Prioritize your courses now and look over their website. Plan which ones you might be interested in this year or next year (not all courses are offered every year). Create your continuing education plan along with other opportunities offered this year. Look for scholarships if budget is a concern.
