Questions and Answers!

Where is the event located? The event will be in the University Union on the campus of Sac State (the Hinde Auditorium is INSIDE the University Union). See the campus map below. The Union is highlighted in yellow on the map. You can also put “University Union” into your phone’s GPS application and your phone should also direct you to the building!
Where do I park? There is a parking structure right next to the University Union (see map for purple highlighted parking structures). We suggest that you park in Parking Structure 2. You will need to pay for parking. You can do that by paying at one of the kiosks in the parking structure OR by using the QR code on the campus map to pay by phone. If you are using the QR code and your smart phone to pay, use the parking code 5115. (You will be prompted for this code when paying with your phone.)
Once inside the University Union, you should be able to easily locate the Hinde Auditorium. It is on the first floor. If you are coming from Parking Structure 2 and entering the University Union, the Hinde should be immediately to your left as you enter. If you can’t find it, please ask someone in the building! They should be able to easily direct you!
