Notes
- If you are coming from a great distance, you may want to consider
the possibility of flying into Phoenix and renting a car to drive
to Tucson. Frequently the air fares to Phoenix are several
hundred dollars cheaper. The drive from Phoenix to Tucson
is approximately 2 hours.
- For more information on Tucson, you might view the following

If you have any questions, please contact Pat Broyles, Program
Coordinator, via email at pbroyles@eyes.arizona.edu
or at (520) 322-3800 ext. 202.
We look forward to your visit.
