February 16, 1995: Vol26n17: Visiting scholars at home in Guest Quarters

Clement Hall is now a temporary "home" for visiting scholars, faculty,
researchers and lecturers from all over the world. The Office of
International Education is offering a new service that provides
low-cost temporary housing on campus for the visiting scholars.
Scholars from Egypt, Syria, China, Korea, Latvia, Poland, Israel,
Thailand, France and Norway are currently living in the University
Guest Quarters.
	An entire ninth-floor wing of Clement has been renovated,
including carpeting, and furnishings that include desks, armchairs,
color television sets, refrigerators, lamps, double beds, phones,
clock radios and data connection.
	Fifteen rooms have been made available and can be rented for
periods of less than a month. Other rooms can be rented for stays of
from one month to a year. All of the rooms available for long-term
stays have already been reserved for the first year of operation.
	The Guest Quarters also has a fully equipped kitchen with
stove, microwave and a lounge with a TV, a VCR and a stereo system.
	A multilingual concierge, Monica Hornman, is on hand to
welcome the visitors, help them get settled and become oriented to
Buffalo and the university community. Help is also available for
initiating phone or data service, establishing bank accounts and using
local transportation.
	The service not only helps the scholars, but is also a
convenience to departments sponsoring the visitors.
