Monday May 19th (Parking-Graduation Weekend)

 

Hello all,

 

Over this weekend and Commencement morning (Monday May 19^th )we are asking that you not park your vehicles in the interior most parking areas of the campus if possible. The campus has a limited number of parking spaces and we are trying to have as many parking spaces as possible for guests.   

 

As many of you are aware, Highway 6 near the campus has many traffic cones on it.   These cones will hopefully be removed later today or Monday morning.

 

Thank you for all you do to support Commencement Weekend.
