How do I get from the airport to campus?
Visit our travel page for directions, maps and transportation information.

When does the conference begin and end?
The ANAC Summer Institute begins Wednesday, June 13 and ends Friday, June 15. Early arrivals are welcome.

What if I want to come to Elon on Tuesday?
We welcome early arrivals and will make every effort to accommodate your housing and food needs. Please notify us if you plan to arrive for Tuesday evening. We will send you special check-in instructions. Participants arriving prior to 5 p.m. on Tuesday have the option of attending a minor league baseball game at a nearby stadium. Note: baseball activity is not covered by ANAC registration fee.

Where is summer institute check-in and registration?
Registration for all participants will be in the Oaks Common Area (Building #27 on the campus map). See registration information for times the registration desk is open.

What will parking be like on campus?
Parking during the summer at Elon is easy! No special stickers are required, and most lots have adequate parking close to residence halls and meeting spaces. You will be provided with a campus map with parking recommendations when you arrive. Elon’s campus has been designated a national botanical garden, so we suspect you’ll prefer to walk rather than drive to ANAC events.

Where on campus will participants be housed?
ANAC participants will be housed in several residence halls throughout campus. You may locate them on the Elon campus map by the building numbers:
    A) The Oaks (Building #38)
    B) Academic Village Residences (Buildings #11 and 13)
    C) The Danieley Center (Buildings #45)
All sleeping rooms are singles. Rooms in suite arrangements may share a common meeting area. Rooms have private or semi-private baths.

Where on campus will we be meeting?
Reference Elon’s campus map:
• Conference sessions will be held in Elon’s new Koury Business Center. (Building #19)

Technical assistance will be available throughout the conference (June 13-15).

What if people need to reach me while I’m at Elon?
