Travel Support
PANTS has a limited budget from which to provide support for travel. In order to stretch our budget, we encourage car pooling and students to share lodging as much as possible.
If you are asking for reimbursement for lodging and travel, please fill out the expense form (PDF) and send it to Matt Boylan. We will also have paper copies of the form and Matt available at PANTS.
Practical Information
You can find directions on the For Visitors page of our department.
A hotel in walking distance to UNCG is the Biltmore. To get the university rate, say that you are attending a conference at UNCG. Two B&Bs are not too far from campus: Dailey Renewal Retreat and Haynes Bed and Breakfast. More options can be found on the UNCG list of local hotels.
