Walking from the Parking Deck to WordCamp

Exit from the 5th floor of the Red Hawk Parking Deck(5th floor has handicapped ramp access, other levels are fine but require steps) past Alexander Kasser Theater and walk towards campus into the Alumni Green.

Continue walking past Cole Hall (on your right side). When in front of the main entrance of Cole Hall, continue on the diagonal sidewalk towards the School of Communication and Media.

Continue until you see the main entrance of the School of Communication and Media building.

Look for signs for WordCamp and volunteers with Wapuu (and bagel sandwich) on their t-shirts.

We’re looking forward to seeing you!
