They are welcome to stay all day or a half day, with a half day preferably the minimum.

Starting Sunday night, June 21, and running through the end of the week, the campus will host the Suzuki summer conference group. Because of our construction, Bon Appetit will be serving meals in the center of the Bruin Den dining area and the visitors will be eating in the Cap and Gown Room.

During this time, we will be keeping the Bruin Den open for all staff, faculty and students with tables and chairs set up near the west windows facing the Hoover Academic Building.

Thanks again to everyone for being flexible during this time. Please contact us if you have any questions.
