Credits:

You can earn 25 CEU and CPDU credits.

Commuters:

All participants are encouraged to reside on campus for the duration of the conference, particularly because of evening activities, but if this is not possible, participants can commute (all fees other than the housing fee will remain applicable).

Directions:

If you intend to drive here, click on this link for detailed directions.   Personal automobiles can be parked in campus parking lots without cost.  Our first meeting will be in Presser Hall (building no. 26 on the campus map).

If you intend to fly here, you will want to make the connections you will need to make in order to arrive at the Central Illinois Regional Airport here in Bloomington, Illinois. Since check-in will be at 4:00 on the first day, you should try to arrive in the morning or, preferably, in the early afternoon, if possible.  If this is not possible, please inform Dr. Pelusi.  Also, the airport is only a 15-minute cab ride from the University, but if we know in advance what time you will arrive (and know your flight number and cell phone number), we will arrange to meet you at the airport.

With regard to location, Illinois Wesleyan University is situated in a very lovely and safe urban environment.  All class activities will be held in Presser Hall.

What to bring:

All linens will be provided.  If you wish to bring your own pillow, you may do so, but pillows will also be provided.  With the exceptions of pencils, pens, and writing paper (please bring these items with you so that you can take notes), all class materials will be provided.  Should you wish to use the University’s pool, you will want to include a bathing suit among the clothes that you bring with you as well as clothes that can be worn while participating in other recreational activities (in the Shirk Center; building no. 32 on the campus map).  Of course, you should bring toiletries and any additional personal items you may want to have with you (for example, a computer, iPod etc.).  Essentially, you can bring most anything you wish as long as you can carry it into your room. Please note that the University cannot be held responsible for the loss of personal items.  Also, please remember that all meals are pre-paid.  Note: if you have any dietary restrictions, please inform Dr. Pelusi.
