TALONS Day Agenda coming soon. 

Walkability: 

If you’re staying at a local hotel, walking to campus is encouraged and often the most convenient option! Campus and the downtown area make for an easy stroll, and this is a great way to live like a student for the day. If you decide to drive, please see below for parking information.

Parking:

To make this day as smooth as possible, here’s the plan for getting from your car to the fun:

  • Parking for all TALONS Day guests is available in the Hayfield Lot. (Corner of Woodfield Dr. and South Donahue Dr.)
  • Plan to arrive early so you can pick the best seats in the house (and on the shuttle!). Once you’re parked, our shuttle will take you directly to the Student Activity Center. Shuttles start as early as 7:30 AM and will continue running until 9:30 AM for any late Tigers. Reminder: Check-in is 8:30-9 AM.
  • We have you covered in the afternoon too. Catch the shuttle from the Student Center Bus Loop to return to your car anytime between 12:30 and 3:30 PM.
