Directions and Lodging for the U.S. Midwest division of SWIP
Fall 2012 Meeting at Miami University (Ohio)

Lodging
Miami University is located in the small town of Oxford, Ohio and has 
limited
hotel options.  On the weekend we are hosting the Midwest U.S. division
of SWIP there happens to be a home football game, which makes staying 
in Oxford
even more difficult.  Fortunately the city of Hamilton, Ohio is just a 
20
minute drive from the university where we have reserved a block of 
rooms at
the Courtyard Marriott Hamilton at $89 a night.

To make reservations at the Marriott online follow this link:
http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/cvgha-courtyard-hamilton/?toDate=11/11/12&groupCode=swiswiq&fromDate=11/9/12&app=resvlink
Alternately, you can call (513) 896-6200 to make a reservation.  Be
sure to mention that you are with the Midwest SWIP conference to get 
the $89
rate. Reservations must be made by October 15, 2012 in order to receive 
the
$89 rate.

In addition there are a limited number of options for staying with
Miami University community members (graduate students and faculty), 
some
within walking distance of Miami and some that require driving.  
Conference
attendees interested in this option should contact Gaile Pohlhaus, Jr.  
at
[log in to unmask] no later than October 15, 2012 so that there is
enough time to make arrangements.


Directions
By Car
All events will take place in the Great Room (room 212) of MacMillan
Hall at Miami University.

By Air
The closest airport to Miami University is the Cincinnati/Northern
Kentucky International Airport (CVG), which is approximately 45 miles 
from the
university and 38 miles from the Courtyard Marriott in Hamilton.  
Transportation

 from the airport is limited to rental car and a shuttle service with 
Executive
Transportation http://www.executivetransportation.org/Airport.aspx

A shuttle to the hotel (which is closer than the university) runs $86
each way, but can be split with up to seven people.  As with past 
conferences
where there was limited transportation from the nearest airport, we 
will
maintain a
bulletin board on our website where conference attendees can coordinate
transportation sharing to and from the airport and between the 
university and
the
hotel.  If you will be attending the conference and either need 
transportation
or
can help with transportation, please post on our bulletin board at:
http://blogs.uww.edu/midwestswip/category/ride-board/

Please note that the bulletin board is a public board.  If you have
concerns about privacy, you might wish to limit the amount of contact 
info you
post on the board (e.g. post an email address for initial contact and 
exchange
phone numbers via individual private email).
