Retreat Logistics

Facilities

The second annual LCC4 Retreat will take place on the campus of Pomona College in Claremont, California (campus map). Retreat sessions will be held in the Smith Campus Center. Claremont is home to the Claremont Colleges, and is located ~ 30 miles east of Los Angeles. June weather in Southern California can be cool, warm, or hot! Please check the weather before arriving and come prepared. The buildings that we will be utilizing on campus are all located within a few hundred yards of each other.

Wifi Access

Guests of the College can connect to the Pomona wireless network called Pomona-Guest without registering. They may also sign in to the Eduroam network if it is supported by their home institution.

Travel by Air

Air travelers have 5 southern California airports to choose from. We recommend Ontario International Airport (ONT) due to its proximity to campus (~10 miles away). Travelers may also consider Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) which has more direct flights. LAX is ~50 miles from campus, can be up to 2 hours from campus by car depending on traffic. Other area airports include Burbank (BUR), Orange County (SNA), and Long Beach (LGB). Please schedule arriving flights to arrive on Monday, June 3rd, no later than 3:00 pm in order to arrive in time for the opening dinner. Departing flights should be scheduled no earlier than 3:00 pm on Wednesday, June 5th, to allow time to reach the airport after the final session.

From ONT airport, we recommend a taxi or a ride app for the quick ride to campus. Those flying into LAX should proceed to LAX-it for a taxi or ride app service. The Pomona team will coordinate shuttle service from / to ONT airport if there is sufficient demand (more closer to our meeting date).

Lodging

Pomona College is covering the cost of on-campus lodging in Mudd Hall. All rooms will be single occupancy and have air conditioning. Please note that accommodations include shared bathrooms, and gender-neutral bathrooms are available. Linens will be provided, but we recommend you bring your own soap, shampoo, etc.

Please note: Pomona cannot accommodate early arrivals or late departures. If your travel needs necessitate either of those options, you will need to procure a hotel room for the portion of your trip that is not between June 3^rd and 5th.

If you wish to make your own lodging arrangements, there are some hotel options in Claremont (please remember Pomona College is located in Claremont, not the city of Pomona!)

• Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Claremont
• Casa 425

Meals

We will have a combination of catered meals during the meeting. All meals will include vegan and vegetarian offerings and other accommodations as needed.

COVID-19

We believe that time spent face-to-face establishing relationships and trust is important for building successful teams, and we are making efforts to ensure everyone's ability to participate safely. Because this workshop is being hosted on the Pomona College campus, we are subject to their policies.

LCC4 members who are attending should fill out the registration and travel info form by May 3^rd, 2024 so that we can arrange lodging and catering. If you have questions about travel or lodging, please contact Dylan Worcester (dylan.worcester@pomona.edu)
