Midnight Breakfast Help!! Sunday, December 7th

Midnight Breakfast is such a fun way to see students! We serve students "breakfast" to kick of their finals week. We plan to have the prizes, possibly some karaoke, music, dancing, and more as we always do for the students, but we can't do it without help.

Midnight breakfast will be held on Sunday, December 7th from 10:30pm - 12am at Ade. We'll need help everywhere: check in, serving food, desserts, busing and cleaning tables, activities and more!

email [email protected] to sign up to help with the event!

Campus Parking and weather

As the seasons change, we want to remind everyone to park only in designated parking areas. With snow expected soon, vehicles parked in restricted areas-including fire lanes-risk being plowed in or blocking essential access.

If you're unsure where parking is permitted, please refer to our Vehicle Regulations and Parking Map.
We also ask that you avoid parking in front of dumpsters. Blocked dumpsters prevent the refuse company from emptying them and can cause service delays.

Thank you for helping keep our campus safe and accessible.
