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.
