The University Inn on USU's campus has a block of rooms reserved for
participants if you would like to stay on campus. You may
reserve a room online at:

Or you may call them directly
(800-231-5634) and let them know you are part of this group.
There are
several other lodging options in Logan, including hotels at every
price range. For convenience to the course, we recommend the University
Inn (
http://uicc.usu.edu/), as it is part of Utah State University’s campus and located a short walk away from the
Merrill-Cazier Library, where the course will take place.
