IYWM Event

Due to the pandemic, IYWM is tentatively planned to be hybrid, though changing circumstances could force cancellation of the in-person event. Please consider holding off on reservations until closer to the workshop weekend.

Due to summer events, accommodations tend to book quickly.

Some area hotels periodically offer discounts on room rates to guests of Seton Hill University. If you are making reservations be sure to inquire about discounts.
