ACCOMMODATIONS

Two locations have been reserved: The Sewanee Inn and Rebel's Rest (both University owned). 
The Sewanee Inn is a modest motel.  Rebel's Rest is a centrally located bed and breakfast.  Both are on campus and within walking distance to our meeting locations.  We may use other locations if attendance exceeds the capacity of those two facilities, which is possible.

Reservations can be made by contacting Chris Carlson at ccarlson@sewanee.edu or by phone at 931.598.1686.

TRAVEL

While Sewanee has its own airport, chances are that few of you have your own small plane.  We'd recommend using Nashville Airport (BNA) or Chattanooga (CHA).  Sewanee will provide a shuttle from either airport.  If you are driving, we are located only 4 miles off I-24 between Chattanooga and Nashville, Exit 134.  Chattanooga is a 50 minute drive from Sewanee, and Nashville is about a 90 minutes drive.

Travel Plans

To effectively arrange shuttle transportation to and from airports, please specify travel information if you are flying.

Agenda items can be submitted at any time and we will continue to prioritize all submissions and begin with the highest priorities. If you have an agenda or discussion item to add please indicate below. Below the agenda items is an area to submit a quick poll. Polls are questions with quick responses, for example: 1) How many counseling staff do you have, 2) What is your student to RA ratio, 3) Do you allow smoking in residence halls, etc.

Registration Fee

ACS institutions represent a variety of resource levels. Collectively, we have agreed to support those institutions and individuals with limited resources. The OPTIONAL conference fee is intended to subsidize the expenses incurred by the host institution and to support individuals wishing to attend the meeting but unable to do so due to a lack of resources.

The OPTIONAL fee is $100 per institution.  Whether one person or multiple people register from a single institution, the fee is $100.  Below please indicate if your institution can affort the registration fee.   If so, we will send you an institutional invoice for $100. 

If travel, accommodations, and registration expenses prohibit an institution or individual from participating, please contact Eric Hartman (ehartman@sewanee.edu) to explore types of financial support. 

Thank you for understanding.
