The Institute is held on the campus of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. We will be following all COVID protocols required by the University, as determined by the State of Minnesota. As of this writing, those protocols are still to be determined. We will keep participants informed as we know more.
We are working with the University of Minnesota to provide apartment-style dormitory housing on and/or near campus will be available to us this year. Let us know if you are interested in this option. (Approximate cost is $70/night for a single room.)
We will be using YAP Tracker for our registration process.
