Hotel and Logistics

This year’s conference hotel is the Home 2 Suites by Hilton GR Airport, located near the corner of 28th Street and East Paris in Grand Rapids, MI.  This location is within walking distance of several restaurants and offers an airport shuttle. Breakfast is included in our room rate.

All full and part-time faculty and staff coming from non-GR campus locations will have a room paid for them for Wednesday August 13th.  Some remote employees will be eligible for longer stays depending on flights.  Deans will approve all registrations. After you register for the event, those of you eligible for an overnight room will have a reservation made for you in the university room block. However, you are responsible for any cancellation; if you are a “no show” you may be charged the rate of $133 / night.  

If you are not eligible to have an overnight room paid for by the university, you are still welcome to make and pay for your own room at this hotel using our discounted rate. Full and part-time faculty and staff as well as Distinguished Adjuncts will be eligible for mileage reimbursement. Please carpool to be responsible stewards of funds.
