Open Questions and Discussion


Network Access and Power Supply

Our campus participates in the Eduroam project, but we will also have temporary wireless access accounts, for those who require them.

We provide a small number of power strips (from campus resources) to facilitate our device charging requirements during this event; but if you can think of it–bring your own power-strip to share with others in need.

Meeting Location Details

Here are some details on location, hotel, dining and other items.

Library Contact Information

5200 N. Barton Ave. 
Fresno, CA 93740-8014 
559.278.2174

Parking

Parking passes from other CSU campuses are allowed under a reciprocal arrangement. All other registrants must purchase a day pass using a campus parking kiosk, located near most campus entrances.

Driving Directions to Campus

Whether you're coming from the North or the South, you'll need to take the "Golden State Highway" (99) to the "Sequoia-Kings Canyon Freeway" (180) and go East. Now, the decision:

  • At this point, we suggest you transfer to the "Sierra Freeway" (168) going North and get off at Shaw Ave (Exit 4), turning Left (West) and going three lights before turning Right onto N. Barton Ave.
  • If you chose to transfer to the "Yosemite Freeway" (41) instead, you'll go North and get off at Shaw Ave (Exit 132), turning Right (East) and going approximately 1.8 miles before turning Left onto N. Barton Ave.

Hotels around Campus

We haven't yet reserved any blocks of rooms for this event and probably won't until we hear of a need. (We anticipate most will keep their visit to one day, driving in and out.)

Still, here is a list of nearby hotels in case it is your interest to stay longer:

East on Shaw Ave

West on Shaw Ave

Food Around Campus

For those who attend the event, we anticipate providing a continental-type of breakfast in the morning. For lunch, we are arranging to provide a free meal at our University Dining Hall, as a part of their Friday buffet offering.

For those who want to take charge of their own food needs, we have the typical food offerings nearby the library (3 min.) on-campus and a few more just a short walk away:
