If you’re parking near a roadway, you may not see immediate sidewalks. This was purposely designed to keep pedestrians away from busy roadways. From the parking lots, walk along the thoroughfare edges, then go to the nearest intersection and follow the pedestrian sidewalk. Do not walk on the campus roadways and please do not jay-walk across. Commencement is on the upper side of campus – due south, toward 7th Street, away from the Pyramid.
