TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS
Syracuse is accessible by air, rail, bus, and car.  Hancock International Airport serves many major destinations.  Our airport code is SYR.  The Regional Transportation Center also offers service by Amtrak, Greyhound, Trailways, and MegaBus as well as local bus service (Centro).  SU is approximately a 10-15 minute cab ride from either the airport or RTC and costs approximately $25.

DIRECTIONS FROM U.S. INTERSTATE 81
Take the Adams Street off-ramp (Exit 18), which will lead to Adams Street. Turn onto Adams, a one-way road leading up hill. At the third light, the intersection with University Avenue, you will see the University Garage ahead on your left.  (See map.)  Enter the garage by taking a ticket and take the ticket with you.  It will be validated at Newhouse and you will need it to reenter the garage.  After our event when you exit the garage using the Harrison Ave. exit, please mention the Newhouse Preview to the attendant. This is the only parking facility for which your parking fee will be covered.  Please note that the garage closes at 5 p.m.  By turning left onto Harrison upon exiting, you will be able to get back onto I-81.

HOW TO FIND US
Using the Adams St. pedestrian exit, walk up University Avenue and the heart of campus will be in front of you. The Newhouse complex is bounded by University Avenue, Waverly Avenue, University Place, and Crouse Drive, just two blocks from the University Garage. Please enter Newhouse 3 from Waverly Avenue. (See map.)  Preview registration will take place in the lobby.

Additional maps are available here.

PLANNING FOR THE WEATHER
Late March and April are technically spring, but Syracuse can be subjected to unseasonable weather this time of year.  We may experience a late winter snowfall, torrential downpours or sunnier or milder temperatures than usual.  Our best advice is to prepare for anything.  Check the forecast ahead of time (weather.com or local TV stations, CNYCentral or 9wsyr.com) and dress in layers.  There is no dress code for this event, but business casual attire is recommended. All events will take place within the Newhouse complex and all three of our buildings are connected.  Some tours may lead you outdoors, especially to view the Whitman School or the Maxwell School, with whom we have joint degrees.
