Travel
In order to
make it easier to get to the campus from the airport, transportation can be
arranged for anyone flying into South Bend. Send an e-mail to Teasel Muir-Harmony with flight information (airline, flight number, and arrival
time) and we will have someone pick you up at the airport. We will also do our best to arrange
transportation back to the airport, so long as the departure time does not
overlap with the workshop. If you
wish return transportation to the airport, be sure to include departure
information in your e-mail.

eventually merges with Route 80.
Get off at Exit 77 (South Bend/Notre Dame).
You can take the Coach USA/United Limo Bus,
