We will be meeting in the Lockwood Library in Room 109. Parking is available in the Fronczak Lot on the North Campus. On Tuesday morning, either I will be waiting at the lot to hand you a parking pass or the attendant will have them for you. The cost for parking is $4 otherwise.

We encourage you to carpool to UB.

There will be a one hour lunch break each day. You can either bring your own lunch or bring money to buy lunch at one of the restaurant facilities on campus.

If you are one of the 18 students who did not turn in the green EE sheet to me, you had best bring it with you on Tuesday.
