Parking

1.  Memorial Union parking:  This is a bit pricey and would run $5-6 a day, but it is close

2.  C. Y. Stevens parking lot.  This is a large (free) commuter lot north of the football stadium. Look for a building in the parking lot and park near the building.  There are free buses that run from this building and will drop you off at Carver Hall.  You can then bus back to the lot in the afternoon.

3.  There is free street parking off Welch Avenue 3-4 blocks south of campus.  (This is where I usually park.)  Watch for alternate side and restricted hours parking.

4.  During the Summer CY Ride (our bus system) is free.  So if you park anywhere in town on the bus line you can ride free to campus.

About the artist

Robbie Cropper writes, "Art for me was one of those things that has been a part of my life since I was a child, but was always back burner. It wasn't until recently that I realized that people really enjoy my artwork, and I should do more with it. In the next year I hope to continue to grow as an artist, and put on my first art show."

Providing an inspirational experience and practical resources for middle school mathematics teachers.
