Just in case you haven’t stayed in a dorm since college, here’s some information for those of us who took the dorm option. Thanks to Patrick Olejniczak of the Kress Inn & Bemis Conference Center.
- The dorm room is configured with common space for the bathroom and living room for all four occupants. You can get a private bedroom. Please see the diagram layout
- The dorm rooms include linens (towels and bedding) and wireless internet access but do not include private bathrooms, toiletries or televisions.
- My advice: Don’t forget to bring all of your own toiletries and a hairdryer if you need one.
About Rebecca Davis
I am the Program Officer for the Humanities at the National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education (NITLE), which is headquartered at Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX. In 2010 NITLE launched an initiative in digital humanities, focused on finding pockets of innovation in the liberal arts community and connecting these dots into a coherent, collaborative effort. Its goal is two-fold: to advance the development of digital humanities at liberal arts colleges and promote the valuable contributions these colleges make to and within the broader digital humanities movement. As part of that initiative, I have been researching how the digital humanities are integrated into small liberal arts colleges, especially the undergraduate curriculum. At NITLE I also research and consult on the effective use of technology for teaching and learning in a variety of disciplines, including the teaching of writing, languages, and Classical Studies.
