Welcome to Washington
University's 150th Birthday Party! Today is a day of celebration, a day for "serious" fun, and a chance for the whole community to experience our rich variety. We have tours, exhibits, demonstrations, performances, clinics, lectures, interactive activities, and other special events presented by faculty, students, and staff of every school—Architecture, Art, Arts & Sciences, Business, Engineering, Law, Medicine, and Social Work—for every age and taste. Come in, enjoy, and learn! Parking On the Hilltop Campus: Free parking is available at all parking facilities on the Hilltop Campus.
