Parking and weather

Free parking can be found along the side streets to the right of East Campus. Across Main street are two lots by the Smith Warehouse that offer $2/hr parking using "Blue spot."

In case of inclement weather, we will convene in the Friedl building lobby on East Campus. We will have language tables and activities set up in different classrooms and conclude with a catered reception in the lobby. A message will be sent to all participants by 8am the morning of the event to inform you of any change in plan.
