Housing Pricing

  • Housing $300 (5-night package, Tuesday night through Saturday night; no single night with exception of extra night)
  • Weekend Only Housing $120 (2-night package, Friday and Saturday night; no single night with exception of extra night)

See below for extra night (Sunday), which includes dinner Sunday and breakfast Monday.

Bed linens and towels are automatically included in the room rentals. This linen package includes: a pillow, blankets, two flat XL twin size sheets, a towel, and a washcloth. You are still welcome to bring your own bedding, and you may want to bring some amenities such as a clock, a small fan, a desk lamp, hangers, and earplugs if you have trouble sleeping.

The apartment buildings have elevators and laundry facilities on each floor, but none of the spaces are air conditioned.

If you wish to share your apartment with someone specific (maximum 4 people per apartment), please note that on the registration form; otherwise, all rooms will be assigned randomly. Minors under 18 cannot be accommodated. All bedrooms are single occupancy only, per WOU rules—so if you have a partner or spouse that will join you for any portion of the conference, you will need to add a second bedroom reservation to your registration. Please be sure to note that in your own registration, and in the registration for your partner, and we will make sure you are in the same apartment. If you have any other housing needs or dietary restrictions, please let us know when booking. We will try our best to accommodate all requests, though we can’t guarantee everything will be available.

Meal Pricing

  • All Meals $300 (Tuesday dinner through Sunday lunch; no single meal option)
  • Lunch-Only Package $100 (Wednesday through Sunday; no single lunch option)
  • Weekend Only Meals $120 (Friday dinner through Sunday lunch)
  • Extra Night $100 (includes additional Sunday night in room, dinner Sunday, and breakfast Monday, for those needing to stay over after the conference)

This year we are offering catered meal packages during the conference instead of using the cafeteria. All meals will be served in the Summit Room of Werner University Center, and will only be available to conference attendees who pre-purchase one of the packages. As separate packages you can purchase: all the meals for five days; just the weekend; or just lunches. Purchasing a meal package is not required. You may stay in the on-campus apartments with no meal option (bring your own food or eat off campus all meals).

Whether you are staying on-campus or off, you can purchase the lunch-only package which will allow you to have lunch Wednesday through Sunday. This can be handy if you are staying off‑campus and would prefer not to go into town for lunch each day.

Alternatively, if you are staying on-campus or off, you can purchase the full meal package. This full meal package will allow you to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner with the other participants in the Summit Room from Tuesday dinner through Sunday lunch. If you are only attending for the weekend, we are also now offering a 2-day meal package that covers dinner Friday night through lunch on Sunday.

Individual meals cannot be purchased. There are two coffee shops on campus, one inside Werner University Center (Cafe Allegro) and one located within the Hamersly Library (The Press) where you can pick up a quick bite or beverage. Note that hours are subject to change during the summer: for the most up-to-date hours and menus please visit https://wou.edu/dining/campus-coffee/.
Western Oregon University is situated in the heart of downtown Monmouth. Various restaurants are located within walking distance for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
