35 E to Hwy 36.
Take Hwy 36 to Cleveland Ave.
Continue south to St. Paul Campus.

Parking on Friday will be in Lot S 104 (directly behind the contin. edu & conf. center). You must tell the attendant that you are attending the MALCS conference.

It has just come to our attention that First Lady Laura Bush will attend the Fourth Regional Conference on Helping America’s Youth (HAY); August 2-3 on the St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota. Mrs. Bush will appear at noon on August 3, at the St. Paul Student Center.

The Student Center is, unfortunately, just a few buildings down from our conference site. We anticipate that her presence will wreak havok on everyone’s abiliy to navigate the campus without complications.

We ask that you prepare yourselves for security checkpoints if you are driving onto campus and that you be patient with delays. We realize that the situation is far from ideal and we apologize.

Meanwhile, let’s all think about ways that we can put the “A” back into MALCS this year. Activas y Unidas!

To those of you who are planning on joining us next week, please remember that the conference is being held on the St. Paul campus NOT the Minneapolis campus.

Though the two campuses are very close to one another, they are NOT within walking distance from one another. Please keep this in mind when making hotel reservations and other travel plans.
