<p>Anyone going to the HWS Family Weekend next weekend? My husband's going (I'll be at our daughter's college family weekend at the same time). One of the things he looks forward to is the mini-college classes Saturday morning and afternoon parents can sign up for, and this year is no exception. I think he's signed up for a physics/astronomy class and a class on conjecture about the upcoming 2012 political election. And of course the Student Government Fall Nationals race down Winn-Seeley Hill with the custom go-carts is an absolute blast. I hope Dean Baer participates. We also enjoyed the football game last year; I think the last time I'd been to a game was in college! Are any other parents going to Family Weekend?</p>
<p>We are going up on Friday, but unfortunately we have to leave Saturday afternoon. We have been invited to a reception at the President’s home Friday evening. I don’t know if everyone is invited or just freshman families. Anyway, we are really looking forward to the visit.</p>
<p>We’ll be there! Boomer22, we too were invited to the reception at the president’s…is your son a Trustee Scholar? We were thinking maybe it was because of that (I can’t imagine it was the whole class…that’s a lot of people!). We’re looking forward to going, seeing a football game, spending some time with our DD and meeting all of these people she’s been talking about! Safe trip everyone!</p>
<p>Hi HMSmom, yes DS is a Trustee Scholar. I though the reception might be for them but I wasn’t sure. Maybe we will see you there!</p>
<p>Enjoy the reception and the rest of the weekend! Boomer and HMSMom, I hope you two connect as there aren’t that many Trustee Scholars.</p>
<p>I know this is a late post but I am going to the Homecoming weekend too. Looking forward to it. I hope to find a ride back to Mass (loong story on the logistics…). Any suggestions on how I could go about finding a lift back? I sound like one of our kids! TIA!</p>
<p>Queenbee14, did you find a ride back to Massachusetts? It’s too bad I didn’t see your request before the weekend because my husband might have been able to help out. Sorry!</p>
