Travel Information

We encourage attendees to fly into Kennedy (JFK) or LaGuardia (LGA) Airports, as Newark Airport (EWR) has fewer transportation options. Due to the logistical challenges associated with attendees’ arrival times and locations and heightened security at airports, we cannot offer a Fordham-dedicated shuttle service at this time. There are, however, many easy ways to get into Manhattan from both JFK and LGA.

JFK Ground Transportation Information: http://www.panynj.gov/CommutingTravel/airports/html/ken_transportation.html

LGA Ground Transportation Information: http://www.panynj.gov/CommutingTravel/airports/html/lg_transportation.html

Newark Ground Transportation Information:

We will send out an information packet via email to registered attendees, which will outline getting into and around NYC.

Holiday Inn

Fordham University Graduate School of Business has blocked off hotel rooms at the Lincoln Center Holiday Inn located on 57th Street at an event group rate of $249/night.

Attendees who want to stay at the Holiday Inn must call the hotel (800-231-0405) to reserve their own rooms. When you call, please state that you are a participant of the “Fordham University International Association of Jesuit Business Schools, group code XFU.”

Fordham University Rose Hill Dorms
For those attendees who wish to stay in dorm rooms, we have reserved a block of dorm rooms at the Rose Hill campus in the Bronx (please note that the event will take place in Manhattan and inter-campus shuttles will be provided). These rooms are $70/night (per person) and space is limited. Room details pending.

Attendees who wish to stay in the dorms must email Kim Morgan at kmorgan@fordham.edu in addition to indicating your rooming preference on the regular event registration form (please note that the dorm fees will be charged with your registration fees through the IAJBS site).

 

Intercampus Shuttles

We will provide dedicated shuttle service between the Rose Hill dorms and the Lincoln Center campus during designated hours. These free “Ram Vans” will be dedicated to event attendees and will run for two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening. If attendees wish to stay in Manhattan late, regular Ram Vans (which run for faculty and students) will be available to attendees for $3 each way. These vans leave every half hour from the Lincoln Center campus and drop riders within the Rose Hill Campus. The last shuttle runs at midnight (24.00 hours).

A detailed shuttle schedule will be provided to all registrants via email.
