We know that "you can't hardly get here from there" but it is possible with our snappy online Directions to Athens. When you come to campus you can park for free (from Friday 3 PM through Sunday) around the "CONVO" which is the big basketball arena that looks like a huge flying saucer parked by the river. This is also the closest parking to the meeting venue in Irvine Hall. Signs will be posted to help you find your way on campus and to Irvine hall.
