#ALCDW2019: Monday Program

As of June 13, 2019.

Event will be located at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, Columbia Campus. Please be aware of construction on the VA/School of Medicine campus. Parking will be tight. Plan a few minutes to find an open space in one of the overflow lots. We encourage finding parking in the grass lot near Building 10 as your starting point and then try the gravel lot outside of Building 2 (that lot is most used by VA hospital patients and visitors, but available for use if needed). Driving Directions.

Some travel reimbursement may be available. Conditions apply. Contact Denise White for more information.
