The ISSO will host a trip to Austin, TX for all current international
students at A&M-Commerce the weekend before Thanksgiving.  Austin offers
great historical destinations including the state capitol and the
Bullock Texas State History Museum, world renown live music, a great
restaurant scene, and very unique culture that has spawned the "Keep
Austin Weird" slogan.  For more information about visiting Austin go to 
http://www.austintexas.org/visit/.  

 

We will depart on Friday, November 22 tentatively at 8:30am and we will
return on Sunday, November 24 tentatively by 8pm.  The cost for the trip
is $160 which includes a two night stay at the premier Hilton Austin in
downtown Austin, TX and transportation to and from Austin.  For more
information about the hotel please go to 
http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/texas/hilton-austin-AUSCVHH/index.html.
There will be four students per room (2 queen beds) and the hotel does
not provide a free breakfast but there are restaurants close to the
hotel.  The ISSO will also consider stopping at a grocery store on the
way to Austin to allow students to purchase breakfast items.  

 

The city of Austin has great public transportation so students may
travel around to different destinations during their visit.  On the
return trip Sunday we will stop at the Round Rock Premium Outlets for
students to shop.  For information about the mall go to 
http://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlets/outlet.asp?id=73.  

 

Students may come to the ISSO to sign-up in person and pay the $160
registration fee.  The $160 is non-refundable/non-transferable once you
have signed up.  Room assignments are set at sign-up and cannot be
changed.  The deadline to sign-up is Friday, November 1.  Seating is
very limited for this trip so don't wait to sign up.  Room assignments
are set at sign up so if you would like to room with your friends then
it is recommended you sign up together.  

 

All students who register for the trip will be required to attend an
information session.  The ISSO will offer three information sessions for
students to choose from.  Below are the dates and times for the
information sessions.  Students with class or work conflicts will need
to notify the ISSO as soon as possible:

*         Monday, October 28 at 4pm in BA221

*         Tuesday, October 29 at 4pm in BA221
