AJCU Conference

Conference Mission Statement

To create a safe and collegial environment for leadership from AJCU institutions to share best practices and opportunities for improvement related to public safety, facilities and sustainability that are consistent with and affirm our Jesuit tradition.

This conference is comprised of facilities, public safety and sustainability professionals at the 28 Jesuit colleges and universities in the U.S. They meet annually at an AJCU institution and engage in conversations about facilities, public safety and sustainability throughout the year via AJCU listserv. 

Incorporated into the programming of annual conferences is significant time spent on the campus of the host institution so that participants may take away first-hand understanding of the host institution’s operation from a facilities, security and sustainability perspective. While mindful of the varying nuances of each campus, over the years it has been affirming to conference participants to know that others are facing similar challenges, especially as they work to provide similar services to campus communities in a manner that is consistent with Jesuit tradition.

Transportation

Specific details regarding transportation to the Santa Clara University campus will be confirmed in February 2016. We are working to provide shuttle transportation for conference attendees to and from the The Fairmont Hotel to the campus because of its location and accessibility to and from the University without necessarily needing a car. Additionally, booking flights to San Jose airport (SJC) rather than to San Francisco or Oakland will be extremely more convenient as there is a direct and free shuttle in front of the University to the San Jose airport for departing conference attendees.

Hotel

We strongly recommend for you to book your stay at the Fairmont Hotel, located in the heart of downtown San Jose. Our opening reception on Sunday April 10 takes place at the Fairmont. Santa Clara University has reserved a block of rooms for conference attendees at a discounted group rate. The group rate is only offered if you book your stay by March 10, 2016. Hotel parking will not be included in the hotel discount group rate. We will be providing transportation to and from the hotel and conference at SCU.

Reserve your room now with the AJCU conference group rate.

Downtown San Jose offers many activities: art, sports, food, etc. Please see list of local activities and attractions for more details.
