C&U/TSRT Members: Do you know the way to Union College?

The C&U/TSRT Spring Meeting in this Friday, May 18th at Union College in Lincoln. You can find directions to Union College at the C&U web site.

The meeting will be in the Don Love building which is #9 on the campus map.

Below is some advice from Sabrina Riley, Union College Library Director:

Parking permits are not required. Most people will want to park in the back lot behind the Don Love Building and next to the tennis courts. This lot is entered from S. 52 St. and Cooper St. (Union's main back entrance which does have a sign). From here people will need to walk through the atrium of the Love Building to reach Woods Auditorium.
