CMU offers an affordable alternative to hotel accommodations through its campus residence halls. Residence hall suites consist of four separate bedrooms, connected by a shared common room and two bathrooms. Participants interested in booking a residence hall bedroom must do so during the conference registration process. If you wish to be placed in the same suite as another conference attendee, please contact Audra Buchanan after you've complete your online registration.

CMU residence halls are within walking distance (approximately 5 to 10 minutes) of the main conference location. However, transportation to and from the event will be available via shuttle bus. To download a map of the CMU campus, click here.
