Directions to the Symposium

The Symposium is being held in the Auditorium in Weiskotten Hall. Weiskotten Hall is at 766 Irving Avenue -- between Crouse-Irving Hospital and the VA Hospital. If you come from downtown, take East Adams to Irving and turn right, go about 300 yards. If you come from East Genesee Street, take Irving Avenue, up the hill, Weiskotten on your right.

There are plenty of parking spaces on Irving Avenue, across from Crouse-Irving Hospital, attached to two physicians' office buildings. They are well marked.

We have included these directions at the end of this email in case you have trouble accessing the web sites.

We are going to post a web version of the program at the Szasz site,
http://www.szasz.com.
You will receive the hard copy of the program at the Symposium when you check in on Saturday morning.

The Symposium starts promptly at 9:00 AM. We encourage you to check in earlier, between 8:30 AM and 8:50 AM, so that we can be sure to start on time. We have a tight schedule with lots of speakers. It is likely many people will try to register at the last moment. This is another reason why it is important to arrive in plenty of time.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact Jeff Schaler directly at jschale@american.edu

We're very much looking forward to seeing you at this important meeting in honor of Thomas S. Szasz's 80th Birthday!

With best regards,

Jeff Schaler, PhD and Nelson Borelli, MD
