Reserve your hotel room at the Quality Inn University (call 574-272-6600 for our block of rooms at a discounted price & mention 1979 ND MBA). Note that the block will be released on September 25.  After that date, the rooms will be first come first served.  If you are staying at another location, please let us know so we can have an accurate count of who's attending.

We are having a class dinner on Friday Oct. 23 at 8pm at a restaurant (TBD) close to the hotel.  The dinner has been moved to Friday night instead of Saturday night. Once we realized the game started at 3:30pm, it only made sense to have the dinner on Friday.  On Saturday night, after the game, we will have cocktails and a light meal available back at the Quality Inn.
