Note that the details of what presentations are in what slots & rooms are subject to change up until the day of the event.

Parking

For cars, pickup trucks, small passenger vans, and other vehicles under 7’ tall the best place to park is the Northwestern Parking Garage (504 Northwestern Ave). The University Street Parking Garage (201 N University St) is another decent option.

Check In

Your lead mentor or other adult in charge for the day will need to check in at the top of WALC 1055. After sessions get underway, we'll have people hanging around in the open seating outside of room 3121 all day to answer questions and point you in the right direction.

Lunch

You're all on your own for lunch. The campus area is full of places to find food, including several restaurants across Northwestern & Stadium from our event, and the Chauncey Village area directly to the east of the Purdue Memorial Union. I would not plan on visiting the Union itself for lunch - the food vendors' Saturday hours have been spotty at best.
