Every year we try to provide access to dorms on the college campuses we hold the annual meeting at. We do this to help keep conference costs down for our attendees. This year is no different!
At SUNY Plattsburgh we will be staying in Macdonough Hall.
The costs for the dorm are as follows:
Singles: $40 pp/night
Doubles: $30 pp/night
Registration for a dorm room is separate from conference registration and must be completed by JUNE 1st. Register for a dorm room here.
Residence Hall check in will be available at the time of conference
registration. If you want to stay on-campus, you MUST register in
advance. There will be no on-site registration for housing.
Residence hall check-in times:
Tuesday, June 7th: 5-7pm
Wednesday, June 8th: 10am –noon and 3-5pm
For those arriving outside of those times, room assignments and
proximity cards will be available at the University Police office.
Attendees will be provided with a linen packet, which includes the following: sheets, blanket, pillows, and towels.
NOTES:
*There is no Air Conditioning in the dormitory
*There is a small television lounge on each floor and a large one with a kitchen on the first floor.
*Other than in the first floor lounge/kitchen, there are no refrigerators in the residence hall.
*There are no irons or ironing boards in the residence hall.
*There are washers and dryers available in the residence hall.
*The
beds in Macdonough Hall are mattresses on an iron bed—no box springs.
Some might want to bring a blanket or sleeping bag as a cushion.
