Upcoming Events: Parking Shifts

Admission will be welcoming prospective students and their families to campus several days in March and April for an Open House and three Explore Eckerd events. In an effort to be as inviting as possible to our visitors, the Cobb lot, Upham grass lot, and the Upham East lot will be reserved parking for those guests. All faculty and staff should park in the North lot, near McArthur Gymnasium or the West lot, across from Lewis House on each of the following Mondays: March 5 and 12, April 2 and 15.
