Where should I park for the Summit?
We encourage you to park in the North Parking lot on the Morris campus. There will be directional signage to support finding the student center. The parking office and campus security are aware of the event, so you can simply park in the complimentary campus lots.
What is the cost of attending the event?
$75 for general admission and $25 for student admission. Speakers and sponsors will receive complimentary registration. Thanks to our sponsor, Ralph K. Morris Foundation, we have been able to keep registration costs low, but we don't want financial access to be a barrier to attending this event.
