To the Noble Friends of the University of Atlantia, Greetings from Dame Deirdre O’Siodhachain, Chancellor of the University

 As announced earlier this week, the period to submit proposals for individual classes and tracks of classes is now open. The deadline for track proposals is Friday, August 2 and for individual classes on Wednesday, August 14. As ever, we look forward to a day of learning and enjoyment.

The in-person session on Saturday, September 21 will be in the Canton of Tear Sea's Shore (Harleyville, SC). This will be an open-air University under canvas. There will be 10 covered areas for classes. There is room to add class spaces if an instructor wants to bring their own setup. Because this is an open-air University, we can be particularly welcoming to the “messy” arts less suited to indoor spaces. For example, consider classes on lamp-working, dyeing, and brewing. There is a limited capacity to provide class spaces with electricity and water.

There is range space for thrown weapons (but not archery) and open areas for rapier and heavy weapons classes. Note that all martial classes need to have a Marshal In Charge (MIC) present to perform inspections.

Please also think about longer format classes. If you have a class in mind that needs 4-6 hours to work with students on a project, we would be pleased to try to fit it into the overall schedule. 

If you have any questions, please contact our Instructor Support Coordinator Mistress Tegan de Moreton (instructorsupport AT university.atalantia.sca.org). She is familiar with the site and can assist you to ensure your class is structured for success in this rustic format. 

YIS,

Deirdre
