LOCATION:

We meet at Trinity University, southwest corner Highway 281 and Hildebrand. Take Stadium Drive exit from 281. Meetings are in Cowles Life Sciences (CLS) Bldg., Rm. 149. CLS is just uphill from Laurie Auditorium, so Laurie’s parking lot is convenient. Or park at the library, or on streets around and south of Chapman Auditorium. MAP (NOTE: Cowles is marked 11; Moody is 13; Laurie Auditorium is 6; Laurie parking is B. Street at top of map is Hildebrand; one to right is Stadium.) Cowles can be a little hard to find for first-timers, so if in doubt, call Patty for directions at 824-1235.
