Lodging

Each enrollee in the Cultural Institute is responsible for making his or her own lodging arrangements. When you call to make your reservations, please let them know that you are with the "SMU-in-Taos Cultural Institute."

Once your arrangements are made, please email us at taosci@smu.edu to let us know where you will be staying (even if you are staying in a private residence), so that we can keep up with all Cultural Institute participants.

If you cancel your reservation please contact Briana Frazier at 214-768-4575.
