Pre-Event Planning

Arriving a bit early gives you time for a short walk to admire these iconic structures and the serene views around Lake Hollingsworth.

If you prefer to plan your view in advance, preview options with the Branscomb Memorial Auditorium seating chart and pick a section that matches your preferences. Then, sync up with your group at a familiar campus landmark so everyone arrives at the entrance together — a simple step that makes entry smooth and stress-free.
