Summer Housing
Many participants in the summer research program opt to live in campus residence halls. In 2009, students will be housed on the second and third floors of Winn Hall.
Students who are working under the auspices of an externally-funded grant may be eligible for free housing. Limited additional housing is available at a rate of $118 per week.
Social and enrichment events will be planned throughout the summer. A schedule of these events will be posted to the program calendar and Facebook group.

Check-in for research students will begin on Sunday, May 24th from 1 – 5:00 pm in the Witt Center. Students requiring special accommodations (e.g. for after-hours arrivals) should contact Residential Life well in advance to make arrangements to pick up keys.
