Thank You, A&A!

Our janitorial team deserves immense recognition and gratitude for all they do, tirelessly working day and night to ensure our spaces are clean, safe, and inviting. Their dedication often goes unseen, yet it’s their hard work that allows the rest of us to function smoothly. From the early hours of the morning to late into the night, they are the silent heroes, diligently mopping floors, emptying trash bins, sanitizing surfaces, and so much more! Their behind-the-scenes efforts create an environment where we can all thrive. Let’s take a moment to appreciate and thank our A&A janitorial team for the vital role they play in our daily lives.

Fire Lane Parking

We know parking is tight on campus, but we also have to ensure that our fire lanes are clear of vehicles in the event of an emergency. As you come to campus each day, please be mindful of the red lines either on the curb or on the pavement that say No Parking Fire Lane.

Additional parking can be found at the Grad School via Gate 7 or at St. Mark’s Church.

Thank you in advance for your patience as we settle into this new year and new parking situations.
