Conference Venue
The conference will be held in the Mary Townes Building on the campus of North Carolina Central University in Durham, NC.
Parking and Directions: If you are coming from off campus, there are two large parking lots on Lawson Street near the Mary Townes Building on the NCCU campus. The address for these parking lots is approximately 200 East Lawson Street, Durham, NC, 27707 for your GPS. The conference will be held in the Mary Townes Building next to the BRITE Building (the building adjacent to the parking lot). Once you park in the non-reserved spots in the upper lot (row furthest to the left) or the lower lot and go up the stairs, you will walk under the BRITE building and you will see the entrance to the Mary Townes Building straight ahead. My conference will be on the first floor (go left after you enter the building) and the conference will be in the lobby and Room 1233. Head to the conference registration table when you arrive to check-in and pick up a parking pass.
