Colonials Weekend 2006 takes place October 20-22. With its combination of festive and scholarly events, the weekend is a time for reminiscing about the past, enjoying the present, and gaining insight into GW’s future.

Be sure to attend the Alumni Kick-off Party on Friday night and reconnect with fellow alumni at this crowd-pleaser. The Kick-off is followed by a performance by Jerry Seinfeld at the Smith Center at 10 p.m. Tickets may be purchased through our website, and are going fast, so buy now. Tickets will be available for pick up at the Alumni Kick-off Party until 30 minutes before the show.

The weekend will also include a series of deans’ breakfasts – chow down on a complimentary breakfast with your school’s or program’s dean, and learn about what has been happening at GW. Attend a lecture from one of your favorite professors in the “Classes Without Quizzes” series, or sign up for a “Now and Then” tour to revisit campus. Octoberfest, an outdoor family-friendly event held on the Mount Vernon Campus featuring games, food, and activities, is a great way to spend Saturday afternoon.

With many engaging activities to choose from, you won’t want to miss Colonials Weekend 2006 – we hope to see you there!
