Dear Joan and all,
Since I've been getting a number of questions about transportation to
and from the Society Circle event, I'll respond to the list. I'm
delighted with the interest shown and hope that a number of you will be
joining those of us who are continuing our membership in the circle.
We will be sending out much more specific information closer to the
event. There will be taxis at the hotel. It might be helpful to
arrange a time with your driver for pickup to return to the hotel, or
arrange to call the driver when you are ready.
So you will have an idea of the Emory campus, you may use this link, but
it is only interactive on Internet Explorer:
http://legacymap.emory.edu/front?P_TYPE=DETAIL&P_BLDGID=1980
The library is circled. By car, you would enter Emory's front gate off
North Decatur Road on Dowman Drive, turn right on Fishburne Drive and
proceed to visitor parking in the Fishburne Parking Deck. By taxi, you
would enter the campus on Dowman and take the second right on S. Kilgo
Circle. Go to the end of the street before the right turn over the
bridge (one way). You'll be at the back entrance of the Michael C.
Carlos Museum. Just proceed up the walk to the library entrance.
Probably too much information. Just remember, you'll have it all at the
conference. All best, Sandra
