Accommodation
Rowan Boulevard Apartments
At the Rowan Symposium, there are two different accommodation options. The first is in our newly-built student housing, Rowan Boulevard Apartments, which are located on-campus within easy walking distance of all symposium events. Two pricing options are available at this location. The first is a private bedroom within a suite of four, with two shared bathrooms, a kitchen, and a common area per suite; this option costs $47.50 per night. The second, for those who desire more privacy, is to book a whole suite (bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, common area) for $62.50 per night.
Reservations and payment for these accommodations (as well as any questions) can be made by contacting Jessica Porch, Assistant Director of Conference and Event Services, at porch@rowan.edu.
Glassboro Courtyard Marriott
The second accommodation option is the Glassboro Courtyard Marriott, conveniently located just off-campus and still within easy walking distance of all events. The hotel offers a discounted rate for Rowan symposium guests at $119 per night (plus tax). Those interested in the Courtyard Marriott should contact the hotel directly for reservations or questions at 1-800-321-2211 or online at http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/phlgb-courtyard-glassboro-rowan-university/. Conference speakers and attendees making reservations must mention their affiliation with the Rowan Symposium in order to receive the special rate.
Food
All attendees will be given lunch on Friday and Saturday, as well as the Friday evening dinner reception and a continental breakfast on Saturday morning. Likewise, tea/coffee breaks will be provided throughout each day.
For those arriving or departing outside the conference dates, there are numerous lunch and dinner options available both on-campus and off at the many restaurants in the surrounding area. Some great options just off-campus along Rowan Boulevard (very close to both the Mariott and the Rowan Boulevard Appartments) are the Landmark Americana Tap & Grill, the go-to place for drinks and great pub meals; Green Zebra, specializing in sandwiches, wraps, and salads using all fresh local products; and Yogo Factory, which allows you to build your own exciting frozen yogurt sundays.
