Directions to the Caribbean Philosophical Association 2011 Conference
Rutgers, New Brunswick
Dear CPA Conference Attendee,
We look forward to hosting you at the 2011 CPA conference, at the Rutgers University New
Brunswick Campus. Below, you will find two e-links to pages with directions to Rutgers
University, New Brunswick and to the Malcolm X & Betty Shabazz Center. We also include
more detailed directions for the different locations where CPA conference activities will be held
in New Brunswick.
Most of the conference will take place in New Brunswick, and the events at the Shabazz Center
on Sunday are considered optional. Transportation to the Shabazz Center in New York City has
to be arranged individually. There are train and buses that go to New York City from Downtown
New Brunswick. They provide an easy connection to local NYC trains, which go up to a few
blocks away from the Shabazz Center. We recommend that people go in groups, and we will do
our best to facilitate networking of presenters during the conference for the purpose of traveling
together to New York City. Clearly, we don’t assume any responsibility in any travel
arrangements, which, once more, has to be arranged by those interested in joining us at the
Shabazz Center themselves.
