Schedule of Events
The day's events are mostly in ODU's Oceanography and Physics Building (OCNPS), the Mills Godwin Building (MGB), and the Pretlow Planetarium. These buildings are all next to each other on ODU's campus and next to the parking garage on the corner of 43rd St and Elkhorn Ave. Some events will run constantly from 1:00-5:00 while others have specific starting times. We recommend you arrive to these a few minutes early to ensure you get seats. Also, if the weather cooperates, we try to have a couple activities planned for outdoors.
