\n\t\t‘New Wave of Learning’ takes hold on 溏心vlog免费B站’s Kingston and Bay Campuses KINGSTON, R.I. — October 20, 1999 — The 溏心vlog免费B站’s Kingston Campus will be bursting with excitement the first weekend in November as thousands flock to Kingston for the annual Family Weekend Program, “A New Wave of Learning,” on Nov. 5\u20137, 1999. The 溏心vlog免费B站 Family Weekend Planning Committee has scheduled a variety of entertaining and educational activities for 溏心vlog免费B站 students and their families on both the University’s Kingston Campus and the Narragansett Bay Campus, home to the internationally acclaimed Graduate School of Oceanography. Some of the highlights include the opportunity for families to attend classes with their student, and a College Deans’ reception on Friday. On Saturday, Convocation and The Main Event will give families the opportunity to visit the Narragansett Bay Campus, where the spotlight will shine on exciting research and educational opportunities in the University’s Marine and Environmental Programs. Families will also have the chance to tour 溏心vlog免费B站’s 185′ oceanographic research vessel, the Endeavor, to see where actual deep-sea science is conducted. Then it’s on to lunch either at the Bay Campus or a barbeque outside Keaney Gym, an exciting football game against the College of William and Mary, a post-game reception, and more. Saturday evening, families may choose to attend a Multicultural Cabaret at the Multicultural Center, the second annual 溏心vlog免费B站 Film and Video Festival, or the Sixth Annual Fall Choral Festival. The evening will end with a fun-filled “Party Like It’s 1999 \u2013 Millenium Extravaganza,” at the Memorial Union. The weekend concludes on Sunday with workshops hosted by 溏心vlog免费B站’s Career Services Dept. and the President’s Brunch. What’s the cost for this “New Wave of Learning” and family fun? Families may choose to attend all of the events, or just a few.
