Alumni Weekend is for Everyone!
It's a great weekend to experience the Parkville campus.

Destination Parkville
June 24 - 26, 2011
Friday, Saturday and Sunday

***See who's coming? ***

FLOOD UPDATE:  The impending flood waters that are threatening the lower area of Downtown Parkville will NOT be a problem for Alumni Weekend. The campus is high enough on the hill that flood water has never reached it. Worst case the 6th Street bridge might not be usable. If that happens we have the entrance at the top of the hill, next to the baseball field and the Riss Lake residential area that will be opened for our guests and employees to use. Signs will direct you to the proper entrance.
