All guests must stop at a temporary Visitor Information Center, located on Armstrong Drive. After you get your pass, proceed to park in LOT C or D. Walk to the north entrance of the McDermott Library (MC on map) and head towards the Student Union through the west exit of the MC. There is a pathway that will take you straight to the Student Union. The Galaxy Rooms are located on the south side of the building, passed the Comet Cafe, on the second floor. As soon as you walk into the library, there is an information booth, where guests can ask to be directed to the Student Union. We will also do our best to have signs posted.

TxGCP Fall Forum participants had the opportunity to network and find possible collaborative partners, gain ideas for programs, learn about other programs and resources, learn about easy to use and easy to implement assessment instruments, and learn more about the TxGCP. Regional Fall Forums build upon the five themes which surfaced at the April 2008 TxGCP Kick-off Conference regarding the needs across the state and where the TxGCP can provide leadership in pre-college STEM initiatives targeting girls:
