The MACURH 2014 Conference Staff and the University of Kansas can’t wait to welcome you to Lawrence, where we will piece together the bigger picture!
Updates Check-‐In Information Volunteers will be stationed at the hotel to direct NCCs to the check-‐in room. NCCs, please be sure to have the following materials ready for an efficient check-‐in: • Registration check (if you did not mail it to us!) • Delegate waivers • Pop-‐tabs • Display Check-‐in will close at 6:30pm for opening ceremonies. Following opening ceremonies, late check-‐in will be held at conference headquarters in the hotel.
Shuttle Information There will be constant shuttles running throughout the conference weekend, with additional shuttles running during busy times. Each delegation will be assigned a certain shuttle, which will be listed on your conference nametag. We encourage your delegation to use the shuttle system rather than drive as parking on KU’s campus near our locations is minimal and requires a fee.
Safety Information As with any trip to a new place, please be attentive to your surroundings to ensure safety. At KU, we use the Jayhawk Buddy System, making sure that when you go somewhere, you go with your buddy, stay with your buddy throughout the night, and make sure to leave and return home with your buddy.
