Travel Information
Last year, car travel to the All College Conference was responsible for 16 metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent greenhouse gas. That is the same amount emitted from the electricity used in two homes for an entire year, or the amount of carbon dioxide sequestered by 3.5 acres of pine forest. If you cannot take public transportation, we suggest you rent a car from Enterprise (see below). In addition, we strongly encourage carpooling with at least two other people in the vehicle.
Reasonable accommodations may be requested through the affirmative action office by contacting Mary Morton.
