Housekeeping and Ground Rules:
- Although we love dogs, please don't bring your pets.
- Kieve is a smoke free campus.
- We hope to establish and preserve a quiet environment, so—though we love music—we thank you in advance for understanding why we cannot accomodate instruments or provide practice space.
- Rooms at the Kennedy Learning Center are designed to be double occupancy (view some pics at KLC photos) but for the conference they are all single occupancy - rates could possibly be reduced if you would like to share with a roommate.
“Luxuriously long blocks of writing time are critical to the success of the week, and everything else revolved around that idea. This is the first writing conference I've attended that had its priorities in order.” (Adelaide)
