University of Baltimore
Details: We will meet on the 5th floor of UB's Student Center, in the Bogomolny Room. There is a security desk on the main floor of the Student Center where you'll need to sign in and get a visitor's badge. Take the elevator to the 5th floor, turn right when you get off the elevator, and the Bogomolny Room will be on your right. It is difficult to miss as it is the only sizeable room on this floor besides a theater.
