This year’s Summit will feature a special Administrators’ Track Saturday, March 27, convened by Janet Dickerson, Vice President for Campus Life at Princeton; Hal Saunders, President of International Institute for Sustained Dialogue; and Amy Lazarus, Executive Director of SDCN. Our time together will focus on strengths, challenges, and opportunities for SD on your campuses and SDCN as an organization. Our findings will inform our Strategic Plan.

The Summit will provide an opportunity to interact with your counterparts and colleagues from peer institutions committed to creating inclusive campus climates. It will also provide an opportunity to work with student leaders on your campus. We look forward to engaging with you in March.

Please register today via the button above and indicate your administration affiliation and lodging needs. There is no registration fee for administrators for schools within the network. Most schools are sending one-two administrators. (updated 2/16/10)

Travel

Princeton is equidistant from New York and Philadelphia, and is easy to reach by public transportation or by car. We recommend that you research the options presented here to determine what works best for your travel plans.

AIR & RAIL TRAVEL

The closest and most conveniently accessed international airport is Newark Liberty International, which is connected to the Princeton area by the NJTransit train system on the Northeast Corridor line. Both Amtrak and New Jersey Transit trains stop at Princeton Junction, and the south end of campus is a five-minute connecting train ride away on the "Dinky". The hotel's shuttle can transport to and from the Dinky station on campus if arranged in advance. Please visit Princeton University's main travel site for more resources.

While Philadelphia's airport is also nearby, the amount of rail transfers necessary usually creates longer and more expensive travel.
