Travel Reimbursement
For those workshop attendees for whom Cornell is doing travel reimbursement, here's the explanation from our finance office: Attendees should use per-diem for meals and provide original receipts for airfare, hotel, taxi/parking, and other expenses above $75. Please fill out your information on this attached Excel spreadsheet to claim your expenses. You can send scanned versions of all receipts together with the spreadsheet to Nancy Bolduc (nb299 at cornell dot edu) via email . Nancy will prepare your reimbursement and send you a copy and ask you to approve the expenses via email. The per-diem rate will depend on where you stay and should be around $56 if it is Stanford/Palo Alto. In addition, please be aware that Cornell needs a receipt that is marked as "Paid".
