OCTOBER 17 at 10:30 am

A Private Tour of the new

Assistant Director of Operations Maria Bouffard will be our guide.

Our tour is on the first day of fall break, hopefully giving us excellent access to many College spaces without disrupting residents.

Meet at the front door of the college on Prospect Street.

Registration is not required
for this tour. All are welcome!

Watch for additional details.
