Senior Family Newsletter
August 2016 
Dear Class of 2017 Families, 

August is here, which means the start of a new school year is just around the corner. We hope your student is excited and ready to return to campus for their last year at William & Mary!

We are your Senior Class Representatives Don and Beth Larson, proud parents of senior Emma Larson, and we are excited to serve on the Parent & Family Council this year. As you and your student prepare for the year ahead, we hope this newsletter provides some useful tips and information about upcoming events.

During the transition from the summer to the fall semester, remember that Family Weekend in September is a great way to stay connected with your student and the perfect excuse to pay a visit to campus. We hope to see you there!

If you have any questions in the meantime, please email us at pfcleadership@wm.edu.


Sincerely,
Don and Beth Larson, P'17
Class of 2017 Representatives
