SMDP Scholars should plan to arrive in San Diego by late afternoon on Saturday, June 20, to allow ample time to check in to the host hotel, SpringHill Suites by Marriott San Diego Downtown/Bayfront. Scholars are expected to attend the Casual Dinner beginning at 6pm that evening, so early arrival is strongly recommended to ensure a smooth check-in and a relaxed start to the SMDP experience.
