Students living in Carmichael Towers 1 and 2 should enter onto 24th Avenue from West End Avenue and turn left into the parking lot next to the towers for move out. A loop around the parking lot has been created to allow students and their families to easily load their vehicles and exit via 24th Avenue to West End Neighborhood.
Students may also use the E. Bronson Ingram roundabout for vehicular traffic.

Winter Break Activity

Over winter break construction hours will be extended from 6 a.m. until late evening so that the team can complete as much work as possible while students, faculty and staff are away from campus.
Normal Construction hours of 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays will resume on Sunday, Jan. 5.

The Nicholas S. Zeppos College

The university announced that Residential College A will be named the Nicholas S. Zeppos College to honor Chancellor Emeritus Zeppos. Read the full article here.
