The talks will take place in the following locations:

  • Monday in Mezes Hall, room 1.306. As you face the front (west side) of Mezes Hall you will see some steps on the right leading down to a courtyard. Go down these steps and enter the building at that lower level. The lecture room, MEZ 1.306, is immediately in front of you as you enter.

  • Thursday-Friday in Welch Hall, room 1.316

  • The Welch Hall rooms are right next to each other, and entering from the east side of the building, it is easiest to simply follow the signs for these rooms.

Buses: Mezes and Welch Halls are located a walkable 1 and 1.2 miles from the La Quinta hotel, but with the summer Texas heat, participants may wish to take the bus. Capital Metro manages the local transportation. You can pay with exact change on the bus or download the Capital Metro App (note that local day and week passes are available).
