The 2024 Hack-A-Way will is co-sponsored by NOBLE and CW MARS. The event will be held at Endicott College.

Travel/Transportation Hack-a-way participants will have the option of flying into either Boston Logan Airport (BOS), Providence T.F. Green Airport (PVD) or Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT). With three airport options available, travelers will have more flexibility in finding affordable flights to the area.

Volunteers will be available to drive participants from the airport to the hotel and provide transportation to dinner locations.
