A Little About Harrisburg:

• Internet in the hotel is FREE!
• You won’t find many chain restaurants around the hotel; however, there are a decent amount of independently-owned restaurants. We liked Spice, Neato Burrito and Molly Brannigans.
• Harrisburg is full of interesting places to explore during conference free time. We enjoyed The State Capitol and City Island.

The Harrisburg Welcome Center is located right near the conference hotel at 17 South 2nd Street.

Student Events at the Conference
The student representatives are very excited to announce the new and exciting student events at the Harrisburg conference!

Join fellow student conference attendees for a photo scavenger hunt on Friday evening. Don’t forget to bring your digital camera (and the USB cord for uploading photos). Students will be split into groups to explore downtown Harrisburg and take photos. There are five different photo categories, which will be announced at the start of the event. Snacks will also be provided. PRIZES WILL BE AWARDED FOR THE BEST PHOTOS. Photos will be displayed at the Saturday luncheon, and the winners will be announced.

Get ready for some fun in the sun on Saturday night with the Honors Hula Hoopla Hawaiian themed dance. Come dance the night away as the DJ plays today’s top hits. Leis and non-alcoholic frozen daiquiris will be plentiful. What a great way to end the conference!
