* Here are some changes concerning visitor parking. In the past, visitors were allowed two hours before having to purchase an ePermit. Now visitors can park for four days per year (from July to June) without an ePermit before having to purchase one. The only exception to this will be in the parking garage where anyone (visitor, student or employee) will have to pay to park in a stall on one of the metered levels. On their fifth visit to campus, visitors will need to purchase an ePermit at http://www.wichita.edu/parking. Visitors may purchase either single-day ePermits for $5 or frequent visitor ePermits for $75 per semester.
* The College of Education invites students, faculty and staff to a solar eclipse watch party from 12:30-2:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 21, on the Corbin patio. You won't want to miss this historical event. Special viewing glasses will be provided for first 100 in attendance. Enjoy ice cream sundaes, live music and prizes.
