Some of you have had questions about sending separate checks for registration and housing…
Please make sure to include TWO checks if you plan on staying the dorms– One for housing and one for registration. Both checks should be made out to the University of Minnesota.

MetroTransit is the Minneapolis/St. Paul Public transportation system. If you would like more information please visit www.metrotransit.org. The website is user friendly and have a feature called “Trip Planner” where you can input information about your departure site and where you want to go; it will give you detailed information about the bus(es) that you need to take in order to get to your destination. For your convenience, I have included information about the buses that are close to the different hotels in St. Paul.

The Days Inn in nearby Roseville has relatively inexpensive hotel rooms, from $55-95. This is an inexpensive choice if you are driving or renting a car because you will need transportation to & from the conference site. There really are no hotels within walking distance of the St. Paul Campus. However, if you stay in a hotel on the Minneapolis campus, (there is another Days Inn on University Avenue), you have access to an intercampus shuttle that will take you to the St. Paul Campus and drop you near the conference site. (Other hotels on the Mpls. campus are the Radisson University & the Holiday Inn Metrodome. Both are within walking distance of the intercampus shuttle. All hotels near the Minneapolis campus offer a much greater selection of nearby restaurants. If you decide to stay in the Holiday Inn Metrodome, you are close to the train (Route 55: Download file) which takes you to downtown Minneapolis, the airport, or the Mall of America.

As part of the cultural night performances, there will be an Open Mic on Saturday night (8/4). If you are interested in performing (dance, music, song, poetry, spoken word, comedy y más), a sign up sheet will be available on Friday morning at the registration table. We are thinking 10-15 minute segments. This will take place in a 300 seat theatre space.
