Early Career Geoscience Faculty Visit to the National Science Foundation

The NSF Headquarters are located at 2415 Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22314. We will be transporting participants by bus to the NSF on Friday morning. Please meet in the lobby of the Cambria hotel by 8:15 am to take the bus to NSF. For participants with cars, you will want to drive your car to NSF, because we will be checking out of the Cambria. There are public parking lots in Alexandria near the NSF Headquarters including: AMC Hoffman Center Garage, 206 Swamp Fox Road. Parking there costs ~$8 daily.
