    Participant Information

    Parent/Guardian Information
    BY CLICKING ON THE "SUBMIT" BUTTON BELOW,
    YOU ARE AGREEING TO THE FOLLOWING FOR THE PARTICIPANT:
    Permission to Participate:  
    By submitting the above application, I give my permission for my  child to participate in the Summer Symposium and understand that there are risks involved with their participation, as well as for any occasional off-campus trips and their associated activities that some years offer. In consideration of my child being allowed to participate, I agree to hold harmless the Academy for Human Rights, Inc., its affiliated organizations, employees, Board, agents, and representatives from any and all claims arising from their participation. This release agreement does not apply to claims of intentional (criminal) misconduct or gross negligence by the organization, its employees, or volunteers. If such circumstances are proved in a court of law, I acknowledge that the Academy can assume no financial liability beyond its actual liability insurance policy in force. I further understand that seeing that part of the Symposium’s curriculum is examining human rights abuses, that my child is emotionally capable of handling this serious material.
    Media Waiver Release:
    From time to time during and after the Symposium, participants may be photographed or videotaped to increase public awareness of the program through newspapers, radio, TV, the web, DVDs, displays, brochures, and other types of media, including our website, Facebook page, Instagram page, and Twitter feed—as well as those of our partners and sponsors. Given that, by submitting the above application, I as a parent or guardian of the registered student above, hereby give the Summer Symposium and the Academy for Human Rights permission to print, photograph, and record my child for use in audio, video, film, or any other electronic, digital and printed media. This is with the understanding that neither the Academy nor its representatives will reproduce said photograph, interview, or likeness for any commercial value or receive monetary gain for use of any reproduction/broadcast of said photograph or likeness. I hereby waive any right to approve the use of these works now or in the future, whether the use is known to me or unknown.
    Emergency Medical Release:
    If a life-threatening emergency exists or any serious medical situation arises while my child is participating, I give permission for the Summer Symposium and Academy for Human Rights staff to call paramedics immediately and then contact me as soon as possible thereafter.
    I also give my consent to any x-ray examination, anesthetic, medical, dental, or surgical treatment, and/or hospital care which, in the best judgment of a licensed physician, EMT/paramedic, or dentist is deemed advisable.     
    I further agree to assume the financial responsibility for expenses incurred as a result of emergency transport and/or the previously mentioned services being provided.
