Transportation will meet and load the vans at 10:45 a.m.<\/span> in the circle on Dunn Avenue near the tower elevator at Talley Student Union and will depart from Durham at 3:30 p.m.<\/span> to return to campus by 4:15 p.m.<\/span> Students should plan to be off-campus from 10:45 a.m. – 4:15 p.m.<\/span> The GLBT Center is registered to march in the parade.
