Representing U.S. Sen. Mark Udall, first lady Michelle Obama will speak at the Colorado State University Lory Student Center Thursday.
The campaign event is set to begin at 2:30 p.m. The first lady will campaign for Udall in Denver earlier in the day, following Iowa and Minneapolis campaign speeches earlier this week.
Doors open at 1 p.m. and event attendees are asked to arrive early and enter the south doors of the Lory Student Center to access the line into the venue.
According to a CSU press release, event attendees can park at the Moby Arena parking lot, accessible off Shields Street. After parking, attendees can take a 10 to 15 minute walk to the LSC or take the University’s shuttle system, Around the Horn, which stops at Moby every 10 minutes and arrives at the Lory Student Center within minutes.
From the transit center in the LSC, event attendees will take a five-minute walk to the south doors of the Lory Student Center to access the line for the event.
The transit center will be closed during the first lady’s arrival, and from 2:45-4:15 p.m. Traffic on local streets may be halted for security for limited times before and after the event.
