2001 Electronic Materials Conference: Housing Accommodations

The 43rd Electronic Materials Conference (EMC) sponsored by the Electronic Materials Committee of TMS will be held at the University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana, from Wednesday, June 27 through Friday, June 29, 2001. The conference provides a forum for topics of current interest and significance on the area of preparation and characterization of electronic materials. Individuals actively engaged or interested in electronic materials research and development are encouraged to attend this meeting, and papers in this general subject area are solicited.

The EMC is again being coordinated with the Device Research Conference (DRC) of IEEE, which will be held at the same location, Monday, June 25 through Wednesday, June 27, 2001. This coordination is made in recognition of the strong interaction between electronic materials and device research and should provide for maximum exchange of information between attendees of both conferences.

ON-CAMPUS HOUSING

We are pleased to invite EMC attendees to reside on the campus of the University of Notre Dame. Notre Dame is a summer tourist area and accommodations can be difficult to secure. Therefore, early registration and reservations are essential. On-campus accommodations will be available on a first request basis in one of four recently constructed, air-conditioned residence halls within a five-minute walk from the technical session area. Accommodations are either single or double occupancy dormitory rooms each with its own sink. Common shower and restroom facilities are designated for men and women on each floor. Guests may wish to bring a robe and shower thongs. Linen service for towels and bed sheets will be provided, however washcloths are not. Calling card accessible phones are available within the residence hall lobbies. Conference attendees bringing personal computers with Ethernet connectivity can enjoy free internet access through ResNet, Notre Dame’s high-speed network wiring in every dorm room and several public areas on cam-pus (cable with RJ-45 connector required). The residence hall cannot provide a wake-up service, so you may wish to bring an alarm clock.

The University of Notre Dame offers the following pack-age plans to provide planning flexibility and the option to attend both DRC and EMC. Residence hall package plans A, B, and C include full meal service. Residence hall room packages without meals are not available. No adjustments from the chosen package for lodging or meals will be made for late arrival or early departure.
