Travel from Hotel Area to Conference
These 4 hotels are located closely together near the intersection of Interstate 40 and Wendover Avenue. As it is not possible to walk to campus from the hotel area, the UNC-Greensboro Department of Mathematics and Statistics will provide limited shuttle service from these hotels to the conference venue. For those with their own transportation, it is an easy and pleasant drive from the hotel area to the conference venue: Take Wendover Ave east for 3.8 miles. Take the Market Street exit ramp towards Downtown. Go right onto Market Street, and proceed for 1.5 miles. Soon after you see the UNCG campus on your right, turn right onto McIver Street. You will immediately see the McIver parking deck on your right and the Sullivan Science Building (conference venue) straight ahead.
