The lectures begin at 12 Noon on Tuesdays on the dates listed above. Each lecture will be approximately thirty minutes followed by ten to fifteen minutes for Q&A. Where is the Lecture Series? The lectures are held in the Science Building in room 134 right in the heart of the UVU Main Campus. Look for the chiral ring--the auditorium directly across from the ring is the room you're looking for. See below for maps. Parking Visitor parking is marked with red Ps on the first map. Visitor parking is $1 per hour. The closest lot to the Science Building is the parking garage. We suggest you come a little early, pay for an extra hour, and enjoy lunch on the campus at one of the vendors on campus. Additional information about parking is available on the UVU Parking website. Why should I attend the Lecture Series? Because about 50% of small businesses fail in the first year. You owe it to yourself and your business (or idea) to learn as much as you can from people who have been where you are. You can learn from their mistakes and from their successes. The series is short and free and jam-packed with valuable information. Why shouldn't you go?
