WSU HOMECOMING PARADE ROAD CLOSURE
In order to ensure the safety of Homecoming Parade participants as we kick-off our week of homecoming activities, a small part of University
Blvd. will be briefly closed from approximately 11:50 a.m. until 12:00pm. HOWEVER, this closure WILL NOT result in denying anyone access
to campus. If you wish to leave from or park in Lot 4, please utilize the entrance on University Boulevard closest to the Student Union or the entrance
from Meijer Rd. If you wish to park in lots 5,6,7,8,9 or 10, please enter campus via Center Road (off Colonel Glenn) and proceed to Loop
Road to access lots 5,6,7,8,9 or 10. All other roadways and/or parking lots will be available during this time and not be affected by the
parade route.
We invite you to show your WSU spirit by cheering on the parade as it starts in Lot 4 and proceeds by Hamilton Hall and University Hall
towards the Quad before ending in Lot 11.
