Logistics and Travel


Dates

The first workshop event will take place at noon on Wednesday, July 21, and the last at noon on Sunday, July 25. Participants must attend all sessions.

Travel

The workshop will be held at Central Michigan University in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. Participants must make their own way to Mt. Pleasant in time for the first workshop event at noon on Wednesday, July 21. The nearest airport to Mt. Pleasant is the Tri-Cities Airport at Saginaw, Michigan, about 45 minute from Mt. Pleasant. Tri-Cities is served by Northwest and United Airlines.

To get from the airport to Mt. Pleasant, participants may choose to rent a car at the airport or to take a cab. For the latter, reservations must be made in advance with either the Chippewa Cab Company (989-779-2227) or with the Mt. Pleasant Cab Company (989-779-8294). Cab fare is about $65 one way. Shortly before the workshop, we will provide everyone with a list of flights and arrivals of all participants so that those who are interested can contact one another to share rides.

Cost

The workshop itself is free. NSF Grant DUE-0127310 will provide funding for the operational costs of the workshop plus room, board, and workshop materials. Participants or their home institutions must provide transportation to and from the workshop. We will be able to offer small travel stipends to participants from institutions unable to cover travel costs. The deadline for application for travel stipends is June 1.

Facilities

Central Michigan University is a residential campus located in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. Workshop sessions will take place on campus. Workshop participants will be housed in single rooms in the dormitories and will eat meals on campus.
