For those who might be interested in coming to campus to attend this
Cafe - which is free and open to the public - below is information on
campus parking and access via TCAT:
Here is the link to our Campus Map

Free visitor parking is shown in orange on the map.
What DOES not show on the map is the construction site for the new
Gateway/Peggy R. Williams Center which is between the visitor parking
lot and the Park Center. You will have to go AROUND the construction
site and enter the campus Quad on the sidewalk between Dillingham Center
(building #1) and Smiddy Hall (building #14). Come down the Quad toward
the Campus Center (building #9A/9B) on the map, and just past Job Hall
(building #2) and before Friends Hall (building #3) turn left and take
the walkway that connects the Quad to the 2nd floor of the Park Center.
Come in the building (you'll enter the second floor atrium) and go up
another flight of stairs and come to Room 301.
If you wish to ride the TCAT bus to campus, Route 11 runs between the
Commons and South Hill on half-hour service.
Here is the link to TCAT route 11 service.

The TCAT bus will drop you outside the lower level of the Park School of
Communications (building #20). Come up the stairs to the 2nd level -
come through the building and exit toward the Campus Center. Come up the
sidewalk next to U parking lot and at the intersection of the incoming
roadway, turn right and follow the sidewalk along between Williams Hall
and the Center for Natural Sciences. Go to the next roadway, which you
will cross. Continue forward on the sidewalk between the Muller Chapel
and the flagpole circle in front of Textor Hall and you'll be walking
toward the Park CENTER for Business and Sustainable Enterprise. Enter
the building on the 1st floor and come on up to the 3rd floor to Room 301.
See you then!
