It's that time of year again – time to reconnect with fellow alumni and friends at Colonials Weekend, October 15th – 17th. The Office of Alumni Programs, the GW Alumni Association, and the Office of Parent Services have been working all year to make the year's weekend memorable for everyone. Most events are FREE! Don't miss this year’s exciting additions.

• Kick-off Party – Start the weekend off right on Friday evening at Alumni House. The Kick-off Party, which specifically honors the classes of 1994 and 1999, is open to alumni of all ages. The festivities begin at 7:30 p.m. – be there!


• Colonials Village – Kogan Plaza is the hub of activity on Saturday. Stop by and see live student entertainment, sample foods from around the world, witness an old-fashioned political debate between GW's College Democrats and College Republicans chapters, and visit the many hospitality tents with information about class and club reunions and activities.


• Patti LaBelle and Dana Carvey – Be sure to catch the headline entertainment of the weekend: renowned singer Patti LaBelle on Friday evening and comic Dana Carvey on Saturday. Visit https://gwired.gwu.edu/tickets/ for information on how to purchase tickets. [Editor's note: Dana Carvey is sold out.]

In addition to these events, Colonials Weekend features those traditions alumni have grown to love – the Colonial Lecture Series, numerous class and club reunions, campus walking tours, sports events, and deans’ receptions. Colonials Weekend 2004 promises to be the best ever, and it's only days away!

ALMOST EVERYTHING IS FREE AND THERE IS STILL TIME TO REGISTER—DON’T DELAY!
