There is a parking moratorium for the event, so feel free to park in the lots around the College in any spot that isn’t labelled ‘Reserved'. If you cannot find an open slot in the uncovered lots, feel free to use the covered parking structure to the East of our College. Enter the code: PHARMGRAD in the kiosk to prevent a ticket.
