Parking

We invite guests to Campus on Saturday, October 18th to celebrate the Inauguration of the 12th President of Hood College. Parking is available on a first come first served basis on campus.

We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to allow time for parking and walking to the ceremony location. Campus guests will not be ticketed unless parked improperly—such as blocking a fire hydrant, parking on the grass, or blocking a building/parking lot entrance.

For ease of navigation, feel free to explore our interactive campus map before your visit.
