***Contact us prior to the picnic if you plan on bringing exceptionally large items to display as we will need to ensure they are allowed on our fields and we can accommodate you space-wise.*** For fall 2022, we are not allowed to bring any vehicles onto the field (per our facilites and grounds dept). Any vehicles will have to stay parked on the sidewalk- if space is available.
***Carpooling is recommended***
- Park only in designated Visitor Parking areas. Cone and Union Decks are the two closest parking decks to the event. This Campus Map will help you with parking options.
- We will give out paid exit passes to participating EMPLOYERS as we check them in on the day of the picnic. You only need a parking pass to EXIT our decks. See the Benefits section above for the number of parking passes you will receive. Additional parking information will be emailed to employer participants prior to the picnic date.
- Note: We are not able to provide paid parking passes to students and visiting/guest (non-employer participant) alumni.
We cannot be responsible for parking tickets.

Contact Ms. Linda Thurman As Soon As Possible if you are an Employer Participant who can no longer attend. Refunds cannot be issued if requested less than seven (7) days prior to the event date.
Bad Weather Policy:
In case of inclement weather, we will move the event inside. Contact our main office at 704-687-1991 or 704-687-5024 to confirm the decision as we will use the Student Union. If the event is moved inside, some modifications with employer tables/booths will need to be made. We will notify Employer Participants as soon as possible if we have to utilize the indoor space.
