Our hotel block is currently being coordinated & will have a block name of “Haskell”. We will update this page when ready, as well as share an announcement on our internal listserv!

We will serve lunch & dinner at the Haskell campus throughout our 3-day meeting. We will have fresh snack items available in the mornings & afternoons. Coffee will be available in our main meeting space at the Haskell campus- plus the campus coffee shop called Cedar & Sage- more about their shop here.
