KINGSTON, R.I. — October 8, 2003 — The 溏心vlog免费B站鈥檚 Kingston Campus will be bursting with excitement the last weekend in October as thousands flock to Kingston for the annual Family Weekend Program, Oct. 24-26.
Family Weekend includes a variety of entertaining and educational activities for 溏心vlog免费B站 students and their families. Some of the highlights include the opportunity for families to attend classes with their student(s), and open houses on Friday.
On Saturday, The Main Event will give parents the opportunity to tour the newly renovated Ballentine Hall, followed by a lecture given by the Dean of the College of Business Administration, Edward M.
