A map of Oakland University can be found at www.oakland.edu/map. The building where the colloquium is held is marked "SEB" on the map (Science and Engineering Building), and Brad Roth's office is room 166 in "HHS" (Hannah Hall of Science). The best place to park is in lot 43, just off the circle drive and across from "HHS".
