Locations
Meeting Place and Registration
There will be a registration desk and lunch
provided for workshop participants in the UNL City Campus Union
from 11:30 am to 12:50pm. Registration is free, but we ask all
participants to register. Information packets will be provided at the
registration desk. Anyone on campus should be able to direct you to the
union. To register online now, click here.
Parking
Arrangements have been made for participants
who are not from UNL to park in the multi-story parking structure just
west of the football stadium on the UNL campus. If you are arriving in
Lincoln via Interstate 80, take the Downtown Lincoln Exit (onto I-180).
It is difficult to miss seeing the football stadium on your left as you
enter downtown Lincoln from I-180. Stay on I-180 past the football
stadium until it becomes 9th St. Then turn left on P and left again on
10th. Proceed north on 10th street, keeping to the right hand lane as
you pass "Q" street and you will see the stadium (and the parking
structure) on your right. We conjecture that anyone in Lincoln will be
able to direct you to the football stadium. You will need to collect a
parking ticket from a machine as you enter the parking structure: bring
this to the registration desk and we will issue you with a voucher that
you can use when leaving the parking structure. If you miss getting one
of these vouchers, all is not lost: it costs $4 to park in the parking
structure for the entire day. Parking on campus is free on Saturday, so
you will only need to do this on Friday. But it will be impossible to
park anywhere else on campus on Friday unless you are incredibly lucky
and find a parking meter somewhere. The alternative to this is probably
to leave your car at the Town House if you are staying there and walk to
campus: it is approximately a 20-minute walk.
Accommodations
The Department has reserved a block of rooms
for Friday, November 19 at the Town House Mini Suites, 18th and "M"
Streets, 402-475-3000. (The Town House is adjacent to downtown Lincoln
and within one mile of the City Campus.) Rooms are available to workshop
registrants at no charge (double occupancy) as long as they last. Check
the appropriate item on the registration form to request a room. ALL
ROOMS HAVE NOW BEEN ASSIGNED TO WORKSHOP ATTENDEES.
