WesFest Is Coming, You Can Help

WesFest is coming! Get involved early by signing up to host a prefrosh, or register your student group to lead a WesFest event:

HEY WESLEYAN:

It’s time to start thinking about WesFest. This year’s WesFest will be held Thursday through Saturday April 16th, 17th, and 18th. Though it seems like ages away, there are already things you should be aware of…

1. We need as many hosts as we can get! Sign up to host starting March 2nd at lunch in Usdan. Or feel free to sign up online.

2. If you are a student group leader, start getting your events ready now! Contact Tim Shiner (860-685-2467) in order to book a room, work out the costs, etc. When you have your event scheduled, e-mail wesfest@wes or sign up online.

Additionally, student group leaders should contact wesfest@wes if they want to participate in the Activity Fair! This year’s fair will be held Friday afternoon. There is limited space, so contact us ASAP!

3. Any questions/concerns email wesfest@wes.

Thanks!

Zonkered?

Hey kiddos. Be safe out there. But of course: feed your head!

LSD-25
Shrooms
Everything Else

Remember, stay safe. Don't use anything you haven't looked into (i.e. don't just assume that 12 hour acid trip is a joke). More important than anything - enjoy what is looking to be a gorgeous day on the hill!

We are also still looking for more hosts for that weekend! If you are a freshman or a sophomore and are interested in hosting a prefrosh on either Thursday, April 19 or Friday, April 20 (it's only a one night commitment!), please email one of the WesFest interns: Maya Bery '08 (mbery@wes), Emily Malkin '08 (emalkin@wes), Andrew Walker '09 (akwalker@wes), or Lauren Russman '09 (lrussman@wes).

Host a Prefrosh!

The Wesfest interns are seeking freshmen and sophomores who love Wesleyan to host prefrosh on Thursday, April 19, Friday, April 20,and Saturday April 21 (sorry, juniors and seniors need not apply).

They'll be signing up students at Mocon this weekend and invading your Sunday night snacks in the dorms. In case you miss them then, they'll be signing people up at the Admissions Office.
