There is no strict dress code for the event, but we recommend business casual attire. On the second day of the convening, we’ll take a group photo wearing Newman Civic Fellow t-shirts, so please plan to wear the t-shirt or something you can layer the t-shirt over for the photo.

If you arrive before check in on Thursday, you can check your luggage with the hotel if you would like to sightsee. On Saturday, you will be able to bring your luggage with you to the JFK Museum and we will have luggage storage available.

Aloft Boston Seaport District is located 3 miles from the airport, making it a quick drive via Uber or Lyft. Alternatively, you can also take the T (part of the MBTA system) from the airport to the World Trade Center stop on the Sliver Line, located .5 mile (about a 10-minute walk) from the hotel.

Campus Compact will provide transportation between the hotel and venues.
