Yes - lunch on Monday is included in the conference.  The town of West Chester offers many walkable delicious food options.

Two weeks before the conference, we will email all attendees and ask them to send any special dietary needs to our Conference Chair, Conner Newkum-Ulrich ([email protected]).

8.  Are there other cool things to do near West Chester University if I want to make the long drive from western PA worthwhile?
YES!  Please consider visiting some of the stunning gems of the area - Longwood Gardens, the Brandywine River Museum, Winterthur, Nemours, Baldwin's Book Barn, Samuel Barber's house, and of course Philadelphia is only 30 minutes away.  West Chester and Kennett Square are great towns to enjoy on your visit.
