Parking
Because the TIPS workshop is on a Saturday, you don’t need a special parking permit. Your best bet is to park in lot across from West Stadium. This lot is just north of the intersection of Denison and Anderson Avenue and located next to St. Isidore’s Catholic Church.
If that lot is full, you can park in any campus lots designated with W, O, T, or Z. Don’t park in handicapped, reserved, or no-parking stalls.
