UMBC Commencement Thursday...anyone else attending?

[Digit]

I may need help with a wheelchair...I am going to try to rent one, but might need
a push if there is a hill.
thanks!

1. I wasn't planning on attending, but I work there.

Do you need me to find out what sort of arrangements can be made? If nothing else, I might be able to find out who you need to talk to.

2. If you could...please

Due to the joint in my knee being shot, if the trek is long or hilly, I need to use a wheelchair.

I am going to try to rent one, but might need a push if there is a hill. Hills are more difficult for me to walk than steps.

Can you find out the terrain for me?

Ack!

SPECIAL AccomModationS SEATING FOR GUESTS
Seating for guests who need special accommodations due to hearing impairment, wheelchair use or mobility limitations is available for the ceremony at 1st Mariner Arena. Guests with special accommodations needs should follow the signs for special accommodations seating check-in located directly at the main entrances.

An usher will escort those who need special accommodations seating to the appropriate seating area. Because special seating is limited, only one family member may accompany the guest with a disability into the special seating area. Additional guests will be directed to sit in the general seating area.

Handicapped parking spaces are available in the Arena garage. (The Howard Street entrance is the best drop-off point for the mobility impaired.)

Please note the Arena is a large facility and a considerable distance must be traveled to get to all of the seats. Guests for whom walking substantial distances is difficult are strongly encouraged to rent a wheelchair for the day. Wheelchairs will not be available at the Arena. Please consult the "medical equipment and supplies" listings in the Yellow Pages.
