Travel

GENERAL INFORMATION
Hotel lodging while at the conference will be arranged and provided for all registered conference attendees. Conference attendees are asked to organize their own travel to and from the host site. Typically, travel to and from the conference is provided by the attendee's home institution. Once accepted to CUWiP, please request travel funding from your department or university, through either a faculty member or an adviser (they are happy to help!). If an attendee's home institution is unable to provide travel support, limited reimbursement for travel can be provided for by the conference with prior approval. Please email us at [email protected].
  1. If students are being reimbursed for travel by the conference, pre-approval is required for all expenses. Attendees need to keep all original receipts for reimbursement after the conference ($45 application fee is not reimbursed).
  2. To go from the hotel to the conference site, shuttles will be provided.  Also the distance on Saturday and Sunday will be walkable, but shuttles will be available for those with disabilities.
  3. Students will be assigned, but can request roommates during the registration process.  All students will have their own bed with 2 to a room.
  4. Meals and accommodation costs are arranged during the conference.
