The symposium Tell Me What Hurts: Storytelling and the Healing Arts will take place at the University of New England, on the Biddeford campus. Sessions will take place in the multipurpose rooms in the Campus Center, which is building 19 on this map. The exhibit and reception will be in the Ketchum Library Gallery (building 6), a short distance away. Parking locations are also indicated on the map. The easiest lot to find parking in will likely be the one nearest the Alfond Forum (P33) which is approximately a half mile from the Campus Center, and across Route 9 from the rest of campus. Shuttles will run between this lot and the Campus Center from 8–11 a.m. and again 3:30–7:30 p.m. If you will need shuttle service outside of those hours, please contact Cathleen Miller to make arrangements.
