DEADLINES:
February 23: motel availability and rates
February 23: requests for short talks
March 10: getting on the list for the dinners on March 16
and 17
HOUSING:
Please make your own arrangements according to information on the
web site. The Best Western Cavalier Inn at the University is
overall the best choice for location and is the "official" motel
for the meeting. [Caution: do not confuse this motel with the
Best Western Mount Vernon, which is some distance from the
University.]
HOSPITALITY HOUR:
Marvin Rosenblum will greet arriving guests on Wednesday, March
15, 8-10 PM, in the Cavalier Room of the Best Western Cavalier
Inn at the University (the Cavalier Room is on the ground level,
right off the lobby).
AIRPORT TRANSPORTATION:
Due to the large number of participants, most people will
need to use the ground transportation. A shuttle service, "Van On
The Go Shuttle Service," is available; they charge $14 one way, $18
round trip. You can reserve a place on the shuttle (804-973-7667),
but the shuttle meets arriving flights. Taxis are available
also, but they are more expensive.
LOCATIONS:
The lectures will be in Clark Hall, and the Mathematics
Department is in a nearby building, Kerchof Hall. The receptions
and dinners on March 16 and 17 are in Alumni Hall. All of these
areas are in easy walking distance from the Best Western Cavalier
Inn at the University and Red Roof Inn.
PARKING:
If you are arriving by car, plan to leave your vehicle at the
motel. You will not need it for the conference. If for any
reason you want to bring a car to UVA, there is a parking garage.
Parking regulations in the UVA lots will be in effect Thursday
and Friday (March 16 and 17) until 5 PM. Most people will walk
to Alumni Hall for the receptions and dinners, but we will have
parking passes for those who wish to drive.
COSTS:
The banquet Thursday night is a fixed menu and costs $30 per
person (there will be a fixed menu of baked chicken breast
stuffed with dried tomatoes and artichokes with basil cream
sauce, lemon pepper pasta, and snow peas with julienne peppers).
The dinner Friday night will be buffet style and cost $25 per
person. Please let us know if you prefer a vegetarian dinner or
have special dietary needs, and the caterer will provide
alternatives. The dinner costs may be paid by cash or personal
checks. SORRY, WE CANNOT TAKE CREDIT CARDS. You may pay when
you arrive, but we will also be happy to receive payment in
advance. Checks should be payable to the "Department of
Mathematics" and mailed to:
James Rovnyak
Department of Mathematics
Kerchof Hall
University of Virginia
Charlottesville, VA 22903-3199
We will presume that participants will attend the dinners on the
days on which they are attending the conference; please tell us,
however, if you will be accompanied by a spouse at the dinners.
SUPPORT:
NSF funds and matching UVa funds are available to partially
reimburse SEAM participants for expenses. As these funds are
limited, please use another source if such is available to you.
There will be priorities, such as graduate students and
participants who give short lectures. Support will be mainly for
local expenses including motel. Probably we will not be able to
give much or anything to reimburse travel costs. We will take
requests for support at the conference.
SPECIAL STATUS:
Please let us know if you are a graduate student, unemployed, or
otherwise have some special status.
