Yes. There will be shuttles throughout the weekend to assist our families in navigating campus. More information will be available when registration opens. During registration we ask that you indicate your needs in your registration form. Unfortunately, at this time we are not able to provide courtesy wheelchairs. We encourage you to bring your own if you feel they are needed. If you have a handicap placard, you are welcome to park in any of the marked available spaces on campus. Several additional spaces will be added for the event.
Families are invited to dine in our campus eateries, including the Kimball Main Dining Hall. More information on the locations and hours will be available this fall.
