We will meet in the UCLA Faculty Center’s Sequoia Room.
Parking is $8 at the pay stations located on the south side of Lot P2, nearest the Faculty Center, or from the information kiosk. Your license plate number is required when you use the pay stations. Disabled parking is available in Lot A/back of Murphy Hall but proof of parking payment must be displayed on the dash from the P2 pay station or information kiosk. If you decide to get help from the parking information kiosk, it is best to go to the kiosk on Westwood Boulevard, north of Le Conte (past Ronald Reagan Medical Center), as the information kiosk near the Faculty Center is likely to be closed on Saturday.
