If you are traveling from out of town, we have two accommodation options: budget-friendly on-campus housing and a nearby hotel.
On-Campus Housing
On-campus housing will be available as part of conference registration.
Our group will be staying in Rand Hall, nestled into the north side of campus, offering a view of the woods and fields surrounding the college. The dorm is named for Sydney Rand, who served St. Olaf College as president from 1963–80 and as U.S. ambassador to Norway 1980–81. (Fun fact: Rand’s wife, Lois, served as NAHA’s first female president beginning in 2002.) Rand Hall offers: Nearby parking Single or double occupancy Shared bathroom (with one other room) Linens and towels Air cooling Wifi Microwaves and mini-fridges Limited handicap facilities (please indicate needs when you register)
On Campus Housing Cost:
Entire conference (Wednesday-Sunday) Single Occupancy: $255.00 ($63.75 / night)
Entire conference (Wednesday-Sunday) Double Occupancy (per person): $208.00 ($52 / night)
1 night (between Wednesday-Sunday) Single Occupancy: $82.00
1 night (between Wednesday-Sunday) Double Occupancy: $70.00
On campus housing includes a hearty buffet breakfast in Stav Hall, the student dining hall, linens, and towels. Please note that these rooms are not fully handicapped accessible. Our group will be on the main level, so you will not need to use the stairs. If you have specific questions regarding accessibility, please reach out to us. Campus housing will only be available from Wednesday, June 18–Sunday, June 22. Please note that we don’t have the option of on-campus housing before or after the conference.
