It is hard to believe but Siblings Weekend has arrived! We are happy so many siblings have decided to join us for the weekend’s festivities, and we hope everyone has a great time exploring Mason and all of the opportunities on our schedule.
Schedule and Check-In
We have great activities planned for students and siblings over the weekend such as a scavenger hunt, mystery game, movie night, circus, and much, much more! All siblings that have paid the registration fee and will be joining us for Siblings Weekend have received an email from families@gmu.edu with additional updates on the weekend as well as a parking pass.
Please note that this email does not contain your official check-in materials for Siblings Weekend. Students and siblings will still need to stop by check-in, located in Side Pocket on the second floor of the Hub. Check-in will be held from 9:30 a.m. – noon on Saturday, April 18. Your student will receive a full schedule of events, Siblings Weekend t-shirts, giveaways, and other helpful information when he or she checks in for the weekend.
Waivers
Additionally, all siblings attending Siblings Weekend (or the parent/guardian if under 18 years of age) must complete a Permission of Participation Waiver in order to participate.
If a sibling is between the ages of 12-18 and will be staying overnight in the residence hall on April 18 they must complete the Overnight Stay Waiver. Please note, all siblings under the age of 12 are prohibited to stay overnight in the residence halls and are encouraged to arrange other overnight accommodations.
*Failure to return all waivers will prevent siblings from being able to participate in the weekend’s festivities.
Parking Pass
If you are planning to join us for brunch on Sunday, April 19 at Southside or will need to leave your car on campus, you can download a parking pass for the Rappahannock Parking Deck.
If you have any questions as your student prepares for Siblings Weekend please do not hesitate to email families@gmu.edu, or call 703.993.2475. We look forward to seeing students and siblings on Saturday!
