LOCATION: The workshops are held at Oregon State University, in Corvallis, Oregon. Participants are housed in the dorms or you may choose a local motel/hotelfor lodging.

COST: The workshop fee of $675 includes basic fee for the workshop, double dorm room with linen supply, campus parking permit and meals. Single dorm rooms (part of a suite, see below) are available for an additional charge of $50. Those living within commuting distance or wishing to stay off campus may attend the workshop for $375 (no meals). A meal pass for those staying off campus is available for $100. Spouses or friends accompanying participants and living in the dorms pay $300 for lodging and meals.

LODGING DETAILS: Two options are available: dorm room or local motels/hotels.

Dorm Room: The dorm will be Halsell Hall, the newest dorm on campus. Dorm rooms are arranged as suites, with two, three, or four bedrooms arranged around a common sitting and kitchen area. Each suite has its own shower and bathroom facilities.THE DORM IS NOT AIR-CONDITIONED. There is an elevator to the upper floors. If you request a single room, you will have one of the bedrooms as your own, but will share the common area of the suite. A double will have two people sharing a bedroom in the suite.

Local motels/hotels: There are several lodging facilities in the Corvallis area. The Hilton Garden Inn Corvallis is across the street from the campus' south entrance. Others will require driving to campus or taking a long walk.  No meals provided unless you purchase an on-campus dining pass for $100. If you wish to stay at a local motel/hotel, you would need to make your own room arrangements by contacting the facilities directly. Make reservations as early as possible if staying off campus as the OSU campus holds many events during the summer and rooms go quickly.

Please note: The workshop may be unable to provide for those with special health needs or disabilities. Please contact us before registering if you may need assistance in these areas.

COLLEGE CREDIT:An optional three hours of graduate credit is available for all classes for an additional cost of $360 (and a "matriculation fee" of $25 if you have not registered for an OSU class in the past 12 months).
