*Event Schedule subject to change without prior notice
*** For those registering 10/22/2012 and after: We have to submit the number of meals by 10/22 and pay for them at that time. Since we don’t know if any new registrations will come in on 10/22 and later, we can’t afford to pay for meals that may not be covered by new attendees. Because of this, lunches are NOT included in the price for those registering 10/22 or later. Meals are on your own. The MU building has a number of fast food vendors in the lower level and main level which are open for lunch. Some of these vendors are open during breakfast as well. For information on the vendors and their schedules, click HERE.
