Colonial Inauguration II

Who is going to CI II tomorrow? Few questions. My son will be living in Mount Vernon campus. Do we get to see the campus as part of the CI?

Any thing is a must do, during this visit for parents?

I’m not certain if the MV campus is part of the tour, but there is free time built-in where you can explore on your own. The CI tour will show you where the loading area is for the Vern Express (the shuttle service). The Vern Express runs year-round, so you can take it over to the Vern on your own if you choose.

As far as “must do” items, I’d say go to as many sessions as you can and network with other parents. If it’s your first child going away to school, you’ll probably have a lot of questions. Even if you’ve “been there done that” with regard to sending kids off to school, there could be other parents that you meet that could want someone else to connect with and share their experience. Networking and “who you know” is talked about a lot at GW as a student- it only makes sense that the parents participate as well.

Enjoy CI II, the weather looks to be beautiful this weekend!
