My youngest Son graduated from Bellarmine University a few years ago. As I recall, there was an issue with the distance my wife and I had to walk from where we directed to park. I suggested to the Madam President to provide shuttle service from the parking lot to the front entrance of freedom hall. I do hope my suggestion has been implemented.
