Lodging and Directions

Lodging:

Given that this year’s Annual Meeting is a one-day event, there will not be a block of hotel rooms with a negotiated rate set aside for ECW. However, if you’d like to arrive in Raleigh a day early or stay later, here’s a listing of hotels within a 30-minute drive of St. Augustine’s University.

Directions to Saint Augustine’s University:

Saint Augustine’s (www.st-aug.edu) is located at 1315 Oakwood Avenue, Raleigh, NC 27610. The meeting will be held in the Chapel and the Prezell R. Robinson Library, both located adjacent to parking just off of Oakwood Avenue - see the map below.
