Program
Business Meeting and Tour of Buchanan Hall #2 Residence Hall

• 5:30PM: Tour of Buchanan #2 Residence Hall
  • Bring your own hard hat, safety vest and glasses
  • Parking around the site is very difficult. Street parking is typically full and there is no metered parking in the student parking Buchanan lot. Do not park there or you will get a ticket! Options include the Memorial Union ramp or some metered street parking on Lincoln Way west of the Union. The best option may be to park at the Alumni Center lower level lot (east of the building – same as commuter lot) and walk over if you allow enough time. It’s probably about a 10-15 min walk.
  • Once parked, enter the site through the south gates and gather outside the Opus trailer.
• 6:30PM: Appetizers and Social Hour
• 7:00PM: Business Meeting and Scholarship Presentations
• 7:30PM: More Appetizers and Social Hour
