II. DIRECTIONS TO THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE AT MARTIN
The University of Tennessee at Martin is located in Martin, Tenn. It is about 130 miles northeast of Memphis and 150 miles northwest of Nashville. Although there are alternate routes, the easiest routes are generally considered as follows:
Traveling from Memphis/west: Travel east on Interstate 40 to Jackson and Highway 45, exit 80B. Proceed north on Highway 45 through Jackson until you reach the Highway 45W and 45E split. Go right towards Milan via 45E. Continue on Highway 45E to Martin. While traveling on Highway 45E, you will bypass Medina, travel through Milan, bypass Bradford, travel through Greenfield and bypass Sharon. Upon arrival into Martin, once you pass Westview High School and the ballpark, take the exit to Highway 43. Proceed north on 43 until you reach the first traffic signal, Mt. Pelia Road. Turn right onto Mt. Pelia Road. Proceed to the stop sign (Community Volunteer Hospital on your left). Turn left onto (what is still) Mt. Pelia Road. Turn onto the first road to your right, Hannings Lane. Browning Hall is the first building on your left.
Traveling from Nashville/east: Travel west on Interstate 40 to the Parker’s Crossroads, exit 108. Proceed north on Highway 22. While traveling on Highway 22, you will bypass Huntingdon, McKenzie, Gleason and Dresden. Upon arrival into Martin, follow Highway 22 and bypass Martin to the north. (UT Martin signs take you through town; it’s easier to get to campus this other way.) Follow Highway 22 (and the signs to Union City) until you reach the Highway 43 exit. Exit, then turn left onto Highway 43. Continue on Highway 43 until you reach the first traffic light, University Street--you will find a McDonald’s and Days Inn at this intersection. Turn left onto University Street. Turn onto the first road to your right, Mt. Pelia Road. Turn left onto Hannings Lane, which is just past a dorm you will see on the left. Browning Hall is the first building on your left.

You may bring your personal computer at your own risk, but we do not require it. There will be a small computer lab in Browning Hall especially for the Governor’s School Scholars. You will also have access to the general purpose computer labs on campus, as described hereinafter. In addition, the Paul Meek Library’s Media Services area has wireless laptop computers available for check-out for in-library use.

C. Dormitory Room Keys
You will be assigned a room key, to be returned at checkout on the last day. For safety, be sure to lock your doors each time you leave your room. The University cannot be responsible for theft or damage to your possessions. There is a $10 charge for lost or unreturned keys. Return to Top
D. Internet Access
Internet access is available to all Scholars in the computer labs and library. If you choose to bring your personal computer and want to have it connected to the Internet, you will be responsible for the necessary equipment. Every dorm room has two Ethernet connections. High-speed Internet connection has no fee but requires an Ethernet card and an Ethernet cable. (Most up-to-date computers already have the Ethernet card installed). Wireless, high-speed Internet connection is also available for free in many campus buildings. This type of connection also requires a wireless card, which is in most computers manufactured in the last two years; otherwise, it can be purchased on campus from the Computer Store. At this time, wireless connection is unavailable in the residence halls. You will be given a personal UT Martin e-mail address. Return to Top
E. Laundry Facilities
Laundry facilities are located in the basement of Browning Hall. You may use coins or funds from your Skyhawk Card for laundry purposes.

You will be responsible for doing your own laundry, including towels; fresh bed linens will be provided weekly.

Return to Top
V. PERSONAL ITEMS/CLOTHING
You may want to bring a small radio, alarm clock and desk lamp. A camera will help to commemorate your academic and social experiences. You will of course need personal items such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, mosquito repellent, sun-screen, stamps, umbrella/poncho, towels, washcloths, laundry detergent, fabric softener, laundry bag, hangers and an ample supply of medicine. You may also want to bring headphones, stationery, a dictionary, sporting equipment and some “spending” money. As noted earlier, you may bring a personal computer if you wish, but you will have access to the computer labs on campus. You will need to bring a telephone if you want one in your room. Though the month of June is usually quite warm in Martin, you will probably want to bring some jeans or other long pants and long sleeve shirts. All buildings are air-conditioned, so you might also want to bring a sweater or sweatshirt if you tend to be cold. We recommend you dress casually and comfortably (but discreetly) for daily activities; walking shorts, blue jeans and t-shirts are typically popular. Note, however: Indecent or offensive clothing will not be permitted. More formal clothing, i.e., a dress for ladies and a coat and tie for men, will be needed for the closing banquet. You may bring musical instruments if you want; there will be free time for practice if you so desire. We will have a Café House (open microphone night) and talent show, so you might also bring your music on a CD or cassette for vocals or, if you have an unusual hobby or ability, whatever you might need to share it with others (within reason). We will supply basic school supplies such as pencils, college-ruled notebook paper, notebook, folders and a book bag. If you have a favorite type of pen, pencil or writing paper, you may want to bring your own supply.
Return to Top
A. Money
All basic expenses related to the program, including room, food, admission to cultural and social events, recreation fees, transportation on field trips, tuition and required books are paid for by the GSH. It is advisable to bring a limited amount of money for the laundry facilities, snacks and personal items. There will be a shuttle each weekend to a nearby shopping center and to downtown Martin, so you will have the chance to do light shopping at various stores, catch a movie or visit various restaurants. The campus bookstore also has a wide variety of items, including UT Martin souvenirs, which may interest you. Travelers’ checks are the safest and easiest way to bring money to the School, but there are ATMs located across from the cafeteria in the University Center. You will be able to cash checks at the Information Desk in the Boling University Center.
Return to Top
B. Automobiles and Bikes
Students are discouraged from driving to Governor’s School. If it is necessary for a student to do so, vehicle keys must be turned over to a staff member the day of arrival. Students are not allowed to drive a vehicle during GSH, except for authorized travel home during Midterm Break, and keys will be returned to the student on the day of departure. As UT Martin is a walking campus, and with all transportation during the program provided by staff, students are also not allowed to bring bicycles.
Return to Top
C. Sporting Equipment
UT Martin offers excellent recreational facilities, both indoor and outdoor. If you are a jogger, bring your running shoes, as we have a one-and-a-half mile physical fitness trail which includes exercise stations. You will also have an opportunity to utilize the sand volleyball court, basketball courts, tennis courts, running tracks, softball fields, aerobic rooms and other facilities. You will need to bring sporting equipment with you such as your volleyball, basketball, tennis racket, baseball or softball glove, Frisbee and athletic shoes. Hopefully, the Olympic-sized pool will be open during our program; the pool is scheduled to be under construction until the end of the year, beginning sometime this summer, so we simply don’t know. Please bring your swimsuit and beach towel just in case! Return to Top
VI. STUDENT IDENTIFICATION CARD
You will receive a Student Identification Card which will be used as your meal ticket, fitness facilities pass, swimming pool pass, dormitory access card, library card, computer lab access card and general identification card during your stay at UT Martin.

Money can be “added” to the card at the Business Affairs Office, located in the Administration Bilding. While it is of course not required, if you choose to utilize the debit function of the Skyhawk I.D., we advise you to place a limited amount of money on your card at a time. One of the photographs you are to submit will be utilized for your Student I.D., which will be given to you after you arrive. Please carry your student identification card with you at all times as it authorizes your presence on campus.

As a rule, ONLY parents/guardians may sign out a student during Parents' Weekend. Please call us if you have any questions.

XI. EMERGENCY CONTACTS/SITUATIONS
If someone needs to contact you in an emergency and cannot reach you on your personal line, he or she may call the main desk in Browning Hall at (731) 881-8940), the Governor’s School office at (731) 881-7579, the student’s counselor contact information given to parents at check-in, or the University Police at (731) 881-7777. Each office will have your schedule and will either find you (in an emergency) or leave you a message to return the call. The Governor’s School office hours are 8 a.m.-5 p.m. CST on Monday through Friday. Browning Hall and the University Police are available 24 hours every day.
If you are in an emergency situation yourself, please notify the University Police immediately. They operate on a 24-hour basis. You should report any suspicious activity or emergency by phoning 911; campus 911 calls are answered by the University Police, who can also be reached at 7777 or, if you are off-campus, 881-7777. Uniformed officers make themselves visible during patrol; if it is quicker, however, notify a resident counselor, the Browning Hall head resident or the Governor’s School office. While staying in the dorm, you should report any incidents or concerns to your counselor, the head resident or the assistant head resident, all of whom can get to a telephone quickly. Some carry radios and can contact the University Police directly.
Return to Top
XII. MEDICAL EMERGENCIES
In the event of a medical emergency, you should notify a resident counselor, the Browning Hall head resident, the Governor’s School Office or University Police. They will arrange for proper treatment. If you need outpatient treatment for a minor illness or injury during the hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., you will be taken to the University’s Student Health Center with the cost borne by the Governor’s School. After 4 p.m., or in case of a major medical emergency, you will be taken to Volunteer Community Hospital, which is within five minutes of the campus. Such medical treatment is the individual responsibility of each Scholar and his or her parents or guardians. For this reason, the hospital requires that a copy of your family insurance card accompany the Medical Information Form you provide us.
Each Scholar will have campers’ insurance paid for by the Governor’s School. It is strictly accident insurance and covers all registered "campers" participating in activities of the departmental-sponsored program, so long as the department supervises the activities. Coverage will be primary for the first $500 of claims expense, and thereafter, it will be excess of other insurance that may exist on an insured claimant. If the claimant has no other insurance, this policy will become primary to the contract limits. Hopefully we will not have any need for the campers’ insurance; however, if there is a need to file a claim, the Governor’s School will assist with filing the claim to the extent possible. Return to Top
XIII. PUBLICITY
The Governor’s School will arrange for press releases and photographs to be sent to Scholars’ local newspapers announcing their participation in the program. Any Scholar who does not want us to do that should so notify the GSH office. “Candid” photographs (both still and video) will also be taken throughout the program and used for the GSH yearbook, video anthology, newspaper, photography seminar, advertising seminar and/or Web site. Scholars who do not wish for their photographs to be taken or used for those purposes should, again, notify the GSH office.

XIV. SAFETY
UT Martin offers a stimulating and challenging educational experience on a beautiful campus setting. The faculty and staff are committed to the goal of providing a hassle-free stay that is as safe as possible on a campus that offers the opportunity for intellectual growth. You will also be pleased to know that the Martin community has a low crime rate. The citizens of the area realize UT Martin offers expanded educational, cultural and health facilities, and the campus-community relationship is close. The University of Tennessee at Martin has been rated as the sixth safest campus community in the country. Crime at College, The Student Guide to Personal Safety, by Curtis Ostrander and Joseph Schwartz, also rated the UT Martin community as the second safest college town in the South and the number one rated campus community in Tennessee. The University is designed with safety in mind, with many wide, well-lit walking paths. Nonetheless, you can significantly help maintain your own safety by following security policies and taking common precautions; these would include securing valuables, walking in groups, watching for suspicious activity and reporting even minor violations. Common sense is always in order to assure your safety here, just as it is for anyone, anytime, anywhere. For your own safety after dark, we suggest you walk in groups of two or more when you are out of the dormitory. You should never go into another dormitory for any reason. Scholars are not permitted to be off-campus without permission from the Director or one of the Coordinators and must be in the dormitory by 10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and by 11 p.m. on weekends, after which the residence hall is closed for the safety of the students.
