We are just days away from Siblings Weekend 2017 and can’t wait to welcome our Mason siblings to campus for a weekend full of fun, interactive events designed to highlight life at Mason!
As Mason siblings prepare to come to campus, there are a few items to remember to pack. Some Siblings Weekend events take place in Mason’s world-class pools, which means Mason siblings should pack a bathing suit and towel to join in on the fun! If staying overnight in the residence halls, Mason siblings should also bring a sleeping bag, pillow, comfortable clothing, toiletries, medications, extra money for food if needed (i.e. at vending machines) and any other necessities for an overnight stay.
Mason siblings should also be sure to submit either the Permission of Participation Waiver or the Overnight Stay and Permission of Participation Waiver before checking in on April 22.
If your student and his or her sibling(s) are registered for Siblings Weekend, you will receive an email with important information about parking, check-in, and events. For the most up-to-date schedule of events, visit masonfamilyevents.gmu.edu or download our mobile schedule at siblingsweekend2017.sched.com.
If your student and his or her sibling(s) are interested in attending Siblings Weekend but did not register by the April 16 deadline, we invite you to stop by check-in in The Hub on Saturday, April 22 from 9:30 a.m. – Noon to register, submit participation waivers and join in on the fun! Registration fees may be paid by cash or check at check-in.
We encourage you to connect with us on social media throughout the weekend using the hashtag #SW2017 and on Facebook. Please feel free to contact us by email at families@gmu.edu or by phone at 703-993-2475 if you have any questions.
We look forward to welcoming you to campus this weekend!
