Parking
Guests arriving on Saturday should park in the Thayer CECS parking garage. The Ledyard and Dewey Lots will also be available. Parking is not permitted in driveways or emergency access areas.
In addition, parking meters on Hanover streets operate from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Long-term parking in Hanover Parking Facilities is also available.
Seating
A great deal of setup and planning is required to prepare Tuck for Investiture each year. This year requires additional preparation as another Dartmouth ceremony will take place on the Tuck green prior to Investiture. For that reason, we ask that you kindly wait to reserve any seats until 12 p.m. on the day of Investiture (June 8) and be thoughtful about the number of seats you reserve.
Weather
In the event of rain, the ceremony will be held in Leede Arena. Admission is free, and there will be plenty of room for all guests (there are no tickets for admission).
