Dear Class of 2018 Families,
As your students continue their fall semester classes this month, they’re surrounded by flourishing educational value, continued and numerous professional and recreational opportunities, and of course, the beautiful colors of Williamsburg in autumn.
The highlight this month is Thanksgiving Break, which takes place November 23rd to 27th and is a perfect opportunity for students to relax, unwind, and visit home before the end of the busy semester! However, if your student can't make the journey home for Thanksgiving Break, don't worry. All residence halls will remain open during this time.
We hope you enjoy the November updates below, and as always please be in touch with questions, concerns or ideas!
