All accepted students are allowed one free guest. You will receive two free meal vouchers when you check in (one for you and one for your guest). If you wish to bring additional guests, please note that lunch is $9 per person at our dining hall. Some rooms have limited seating, so we ask that you bring no more than two guests total.

What should I bring with me?
Please wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather. There will be a good amount of walking during the event and you may spend some time outdoors in the afternoon.
