Parking:

Visitors may park directly behind the Wilson Student Union in Parking Lot M, but due to construction occurring on neighboring buildings they may need to park in Parking Lots N, L, or K.  If those lots are full, plan on parking on the other side of campus and walking to the student union. There is no parking in yellow service vehicle spaces, designated parking spaces, and do not block the road or you will be ticketed.
