Summer Conference Services

*Summer 2023 season rates below are charged per person.

• Single occupancy: $63/night

Each residence hall room includes a twin bed, desk, bed side table and closet. Linens are provided to all conference guests staying on campus unless declined by the conference organizer. Linens provided include 2 sheets, a blanket, one pillow and pillow case and towels. Fresh linens are provided for groups staying more than 5 days. Our housing facilities are not air-conditioned. We suggest bringing your own alarm clocks, fans, hangers, and reading lamps. As most bathrooms are shared facilities, you may also wish to bring a bathrobe and shower shoes with you.

All food on campus is prepared from scratch by Bon Appetit, the premier onsite restaurant company known for its culinary expertise and commitment to socially responsible practices. All dining hall meals during the summer are served in the Prentiss Dining Hall. Bon Appetit is happy to accommodate food allergies and requests for our summer conference guests.

Bon Appetit also offers extensive catering options for our summer conference guests if you would like to highlight your program with a grand reception or a lunch featuring a guest speaker. For more information on catering please visit Bon Appetit catering.
