The Hillary Clinton campaign has made arrangements for buses to shuttle Wake Forest students, faculty and staff to and from a campaign event to be held at 2 p.m. Oct. 27 at the Coliseum. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and First Lady Michelle Obama will be at the event.  Doors will open at approximately 11 a.m.

Starting at 10:30 a.m. Oct. 27 in Parking Lot P (east side of Wait Chapel), buses will begin taking students, faculty and staff to the coliseum.  The buses will continue transporting campus community members from the campus to the Coliseum until the event begins.

After the event, people returning to campus can board buses at the same Coliseum location where they had been dropped off earlier.

Anyone attending the event is encouraged by the Clinton campaign to RSVP.  The Clinton campaign will send additional details to those who RSVP.
