Spring Family Kick-Off is a week away!

Back in August, we held a virtual Fall Family Kick-Off event to replace our Family Farewell event that we traditionally held in person during Move-In Day. We received positive feedback from both our Mason families and campus partners so we decided to recreate it for the spring!

We invite all Mason parents, family members and supporters, both of new and continuing Mason students, to register for our Spring Family Kick-Off and join faculty and staff from around the university next Tuesday, January 19 from 5:00-7:30 p.m. ET. Turn on your camera and microphone, and get your questions answered from key offices in real time. You will also learn important university information and explore opportunities to support your student’s learning and success.

Register here!

 

This event will be rotation style, and the schedule of participating academic and student support offices is in the chart below. Be sure to register to ensure you receive the event instructions and additional details later this week.
