NEW Hotel Shuttle Bus Information:

A shuttle bus will run between the hotel and campus between 7:30 and 9:00 am, 12:30 and 2:00 pm, and 5:30 and 11:30 pm on both days. The bus's capacity is 27 passengers. Pick-ups and drop-offs will be outside the Student Center facing Ella Grasso Boulevard.

This bus will take participants to the Afghani restaurant in West Hartford (or to any restaurant in West Hartford Center for that matter) on the Friday night and return them to the hotel by 11:30 pm. It will leave campus at 7:30 pm and make a stop at the hotel at 7:45.
