A PennCard is needed for access into Levine Hall on Saturdays. Anyone attending the conference who doesn't have a PennCard should approach the building from the west (by walking down "Chancellor Walk" - the entrance shown in the photograph above). If they come to this door of the building, then someone at the PWGL registration desk will see them and let them in the door.

For more information, please view the schedule of events, or contact a member of the organizing committee listed below.
