Transportation
(Vern Express)
Information
The Symposium
locations on the Mount Vernon campus are easily accessed by the "Vern Express" buses
that run between GW's Mount Vernon and Foggy Bottom campuses. The
Vern Express runs
every 5 to 10
minutes during the times at which the Symposium will take
place. The trip
typically takes 10 to 13 minutes (though it's perhaps best to assume
15-20 minutes).
On Mount Vernon, the
drop off points
are at The Quad, across from Somers Hall, the Clock Tower and the Webb
Building. The main pick-up/drop-off on the Foggy Bottom campus is at
23rd and H Streets (in front of Fulbright Hall). Prior to 10
a.m., the Vern Express stops instead at 21st and H Streets
(in front of the
Marvin Center). A second stop (post-10 a.m. on Friday only) is at 20th
and E Street.
Because on-campus parking is extremely limited on Mount Vernon, taking
the Vern Express is strongly encouraged.
