Upon conclusion of the briefing, members of the media will have an opportunity to speak with Dr. Becoats about topics covered in his remarks as well as other topics.

One important note about parking – due to limited availability, we have secured spaces for the media in a parking lot at the corner of Fayetteville Street and Formosa Street. The lot is adjacent to Holy Cross Catholic Church. You will see a student greeter who will meet you in the parking lot and point you in the direction of the briefing.

Please call if you have questions. We look forward to seeing you there.
