Reunion Weekend ONLY: Campus Housing
Guests will be placed in McElwain/Davison, which includes elevator access, air conditioning and renovated bathrooms. Late registrations may need to be placed in an overflow residence building. Please keep in mind that these are residence halls with little ability to regulate temperatures and few amenities exist. Residence hall rooms: $40 for single or $30 per person for double per night. Linens are supplied, but we suggest bringing extra towels and your own blanket if desired. You may also wish to bring a small lamp. Many classes have arranged for a block of rooms and lounge space at designated hotel(s).
