The speakers will be staying at the Cook Hotel. Reservations will be made through Pallavi Dani (please do not contact the hotel directly.)

The hotel is about a mile away from the math department. It may be a bit shorter if one cuts through campus. You can also take a campus bus (the Purple Trail), which has a stop right outside the math department. In the Summer it is supposed to run every twenty minutes. The exact location of the bus can be tracked here.
