These prices are subject to change of course, but these are the prices listed for Oct 3-6, 2019 as of today.

You should fly into Eugene, there are flights that connect with main airports, such as Seattle, L.A., Chicago, and Denver. Depending on the hotel you will have a 20-minute taxi ride or a hotel shuttle. Another option is to fly into Portland. The airport is on the Northside of the city, so you are looking at a two-hour car ride to Eugene. There is a shuttle from the airport to Eugene, but it runs at specific times (https://groometransportation.com/portland-airport/).

Sessions will take place on campus. Locations TBA. We will have the program for you shortly.

With best wishes, and looking forward to seeing you soon in Oregon,

Alejandro, Carolyn, Cynthia, and Lawrence
