Parking for the event: The symposium is held during the week between spring and summer semesters on campus. During this week, any vehicle (with or without a current DOTS permit) may park in Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, 15, 16, 17 and 19. Faculty/staff lot, pay station areas, and meters are still enforced.
