A few details for those who are considering coming to the our Institute:

We are a "commuting" institute which means we have no dedicated housing for attendees. Sometimes it is possible to stay with local families. Please inquire if this interests you, but we cannot guarantee host-housing will be available every year.

If you will be attending the institute please keep in mind that Anchorage is a large city with a very small public transport infrastructure. We recommend you rent a car for your stay to facilitate transportation. This will also enable you to enjoy the many local sights. See the map of Anchorage here.

Meals are not provided during the institute and although many great local restaurants are nearby depending on our location, they are not always within walking distance, so please plan accordingly.

Please do not hesitate to contact, our travel coordinator, Cindy, for more information on travel to and from the institute as well as on local housing. You may reach her by e-mail by clicking here.
