Help SOAR and Park in Lot L

All of our SOAR attendees have been directed to park on the WEST side of campus. This is to assist them in navigating around the construction and preparing them for move-in day. If you plan to be on campus over the next week, please plan to park in Lot L to allow room for parking for our SOAR visitors on the other end of campus (Lots D, G and the Augsburg streets etc). Thank you for your cooperation!
