Travel to Cornell University

Plan to arrive and register on campus at Cornell University in Ithaca at 2:00pm on June 3rd at the Robert Purcell Community Center. We will be waiting on campus to greet you at that time. If special arrangements must be made, please contact either Sarah Getz or Juliet Davidow. Check out will be at 10:00am on June 8th.

*Location of registration is subject to change. Please check this site frequently for updates.

Please send us your travel information within two weeks of your acceptance including method of travel, your expected arrival and departure times, and your flight numbers. Even though we will be meeting you on campus, it is helpful to have as much information as possible. Let us know if you have any questions.

Alternate Travel Information:

• By Air
• By Car

From the Airport to Campus:

For those of you flying into Ithaca's airport, here are some useful addresses to direct your cab driver. Also, since everyone is arriving at very different times, here is a reference for when and where the group will be gathered.

• For those arriving before 2:00pm.
  • Please have your taxi bring you to the Hurlburt House at 1 Country Club Rd (off Triphammer Rd).
  • Hurlburt is where you will be staying during the Summer Institute. Registration will begin at 2:00p.

• For those arriving after 2:00pm and before 3:30pm.
  • Please have your taxi bring you to Robert Purcell Community Center at 90 Jessup Rd.
  • At registration you will be provided with information packets, full of helpful information to get you around campus and Ithaca, the itinerary for the week (including special dinner arrangements), and contact for attending speakers and students.

• For those arriving after 4:00pm
  • Please have your taxi bring you to the AD White House at East Avenue (big white building on campus).
  • The opening address and student introductions will begin at 4:00, and the reception dinner will begin at 5:30 (in the same location) so if you will be arriving after these events have begun, please join the group as unobtrusively as possible. We will register you and provide you with your welcome packet at the earliest convenient time.
