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.
