The workshop will take place in Fenn Tower rooms 0010-0012, which are located in the basement. When you enter Fenn Tower, you will see a bank of elevators to your right. Take one of these elevators to the basement. We will post signs making it easier for you to find the rooms. Follow these links for a campus map and directions to campus. We have reserved some parking spaces in the recreation center garage, located on Chester Avenue, east of East 24th Street. The program is provided below with links to some of the papers.
