Day-Of Instructions

Set-Up Information:

Please arrive as close to 9AM as possible to set up in the Cabot Cage. The entrance is on Forsyth Street – the employer check-in table will be set up there.

We expect hundreds of students to attend starting at 10AM, so in order to avoid a scrum, please arrive early.
