Golf Carts
Student workers in golf carts will be circling the campus offering rides to anyone who needs assistance getting from one place to the other. They will also pass by the Admissions Lot, which is reserved for accessible parking, every 10 minutes to pick up people who are parked there. Please look for them and wave so they know you would like a lift. Inauguration Staff will be wearing bright blue shirts and orange name tags.
