Biennial History of Astronomy Workshop - ND XIII July 5-9, 2017

Travel to the Workshop

In order to make it easier for you to get to the campus from the airport, transportation can be arranged for anyone flying into South Bend.  Send an e-mail to Matt Dowd with your flight information (airline/flight number, and arrival time) and we will have someone pick you up at the airport.

We will also do our best to arrange transportation back to the airport, so long as the departure time does not overlap with the workshop.  If you wish return transportation to the airport, be sure to include departure information in your e-mail.
