Travel: By air to the Albany, New York, airport and by train to the Albany-Rensselaer station, with taxis to Troy available for about $20 one way. More detailed travel information will be provided after the abstracts are submitted. The area is a great starting point for a summer vacation in Vermont, the Berkshires, or the Adirondacks.
Registration fee: $20, non-refundable after June 1 $10 (students and unemployed)
Accommodations: There is a Best Western Hotel located off campus in Troy (1800 6th Ave., 518-274-2210), and there are numerous very good restaurants in the Troy area. For information on more luxurious hotels in the region, contact Hess at hessd@rpi.edu. A restaurant list will be supplied.
Rensselaer also offers summer accommodations in the dormitories and a meal plan. Dormitory rooms are available for $32/night single ($21/night per person double). The rooms are air-conditioned and come with prepared bed and towels. Two bedrooms share a bathroom. Brunch and dinner on the weekend are served cafeteria style for $18.50/day. Bagels, juice, and coffee will be provided each morning before the conference begins and their cost will be included in the registration fee.
For those who arrive on Friday evening, there will be a dinner at a restaurant in Troy to be announced later.
