Travel/Lodging

Atherton* UPDATE: Please do everything you can to arrive on Sunday, Oct, 23.  Since there is a home football game on Oct. 22, there are no hotel rooms available anywhere in town for the night of Oct. 22 (Oct. 23 onward is fine).  If you plan to attend the short course, and if flight options allow it, we encourage you to arrive on the morning of Oct. 23.  If you must arrive on Oct. 22, please contact Lorey B. (lfb109@psu.edu) to arrange lodging.  You will be hosted by a member of the Statistics Department.

The University Park Airport (SCE) is a short (15 minute) drive to the conference venue.

* There are very few direct routes into and out of SCE, but we highly suggest booking connecting flights to SCE rather than to larger, more distant, airports.

Workshop participants are encouraged to stay at the conference hotel, the Atherton Hotel . Rooms have been blocked at a reduced group rate at the Atherton.

* To make reservations, call the reservations desk at (814) 231-2100 and mention the STATMOS Workshop on Climate and Weather Extremes.
* The group rate of $95/night will be available for reservations made before September 23.
* The Atherton is on the edge of downtown State College, within easy walking distance of many restaurants and shops, as well as the Penn State campus.
