This is the first training session of the year. All vols should attend as with at least one parent (if still in high school).
General directions to the Tufts Campus can be found here: http://www.tufts.edu/home/visiting_directions/medford_somerville/.
Detailed Directions: (Please call Rhiana Smith at 713-858-9159 or me at 301-467-9857 if you have trouble)
The building across from the Memorial Steps (big set of stairs, no way to miss them) is 200 College Avenue
Medford, MA 02155. We will post a sign on the bottom rung of steps directing you up the stairs and then to Braker for the meeting.
If taking the T, you should take the Red Line to Davis Square. However, they are doing repairs on that portion of the T from Nov-March. There should be very obvious replacement shuttles at the Harvard Square Red Line stop that will take you (free) and drop you off at Davis Square. At the Square, in front of J.P. Licks and Boston Burger Co. and across the street from a T entrance, there is generally a group of students waiting for the 'Joey', the campus shuttle with 'Joseph's' on the side that takes students from Davis to campus. The Joey comes every half hour and should hit Davis at 1:40 pm. You will want to get off at the Olin stop and walk across the Academic Quad to Braker Hall. Any student you stop can point you in the right direction (we will also have some veteran volunteers on the lookout for you!).
Walking directions from the T: Find College Ave and walk toward Powderhouse Square (traffic circle). Walk toward the large Tufts University sign and continue down College Ave past athletic fields and academic buildings/houses until you reach the Memorial Steps on your left. The walk should take 15-20 minutes depending on your pace. Continue up the steps and follow signs to Braker Hall.
Directions from Dowling Parking Garage to Braker: Take the garage elevator the 7th floor, exit the building, follow walkway to Academic Quad, take a left, Braker Hall is on your left.
Directions from College Ave/Memorial Steps to Braker: Take the Memorial Steps to Academic Quad, Braker Hall is one of the buildings on the right side of the Quad.
