Alumni Relations tries to honor all requests. Sheets, blankets, pillows and towels are provided in the dorms and Alumni Relations distributes welcome bags with bottled water and snacks to all staying on campus. Typically, there have singles and doubles available (the beds are XL singles.) The cost is $30 per person, per night (kids may stay for free in their parent’s room.)

Bringing Children

Washington College welcomes families and provides family-friendly events during Alumni Weekend. We offer reduced fees for children 7 to 12 years of age, and kids under age 7 are free at most events. While we are not able to offer childcare during the weekend, for alumni staying on campus, we do allow children to stay in their parent’s dorm room at no additional cost.

Checking-In

The festivities begin on Friday, May 18, and run through Sunday, May 20. Check the Alumni Weekend schedule for specific event information. When you arrive, sign in at the Alumni House, located on the corner of Campus and Washington Avenues. Registration desk hours are 10 am-10 pm on Friday and 8 am-9 pm on Saturday. You are welcome to use the Board of Education parking area just across the street on Washington Avenue or the Minta Martin lot, within a short walk to the Alumni House. When you arrive, you will be given a registration packet including your name badge, tickets to events, and Alumni Weekend information. If you have reserved a dorm room, you will also be given your key and packet at that time.

Alumni Weekend Costs

The cost of Alumni Weekend events vary based on the activities scheduled. Washington College fees are designed to keep costs at a minimum. Most events are complimentary, such as seminars, recreation activities, and special programs. Credit cards are accepted at the Alumni House registration desk. If you pay at the door of an event or if an event has a cash bar, please bring cash or check.

Special Needs

If you need special services or assistance, designate in detail what your needs are on the registration form. Alumni may also phone Alumni Relations at 410-778-7846. Transportation across campus via golf cart is available if needed.

Food/Dining

The Dining Hall will be open for Saturday dinner and Sunday breakfast. Throughout the weekend, however, Alumni Relations offers meals and snacks at events. Please read the schedule to find out more about the variety of meals and snacks available on campus. In addition, Java George, a coffee bar in Hodson Commons, offers coffee and light snacks on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

While there is no dress code, attendees usually dress in casual clothing for daytime events. In the evenings, most people opt for business casual or semi-formal wear.
