FEES
|
Q:
|
Why do I have to pay a registration fee?
|
|
A:
|
The
Registration fee, which applies to
alumni and their adult (over 18)
guests only, covers a portion of
the weekend's overhead costs,
including but not limited to:
physical plant, public safety,
health services, student workers,
entertainment, transportation,
regalia, some meals and the cost
of renting tents, tables, chairs,
china, linens, etc.
|
|
Q:
|
Does Wesleyan make a profit on this event?
|
|
A:
|
No. Wesleyan subsidizes over 80% of
the Reunion & Commencement
Weekend expenses. The University
does not raise funds from event
charges. Fundraising for the
Wesleyan Annual Fund (WAF) is done
by a team of volunteers and staff
throughout the year.
|
|
Q:
|
How do Wesleyan's fees compare to those charged by other
colleges?
|
|
A:
|
When comparing our fees to those set
by other colleges, we found that
Wesleyan's fees are neither the
least nor the most expensive. Our
comparisons revealed that Wesleyan
offers a much more comprehensive
program than many other colleges.
In addition, some colleges have a
surfeit of good dining spaces, for
example, and have little need to
use tents to create temporary
facilities. Unfortunately, that is
not the case for Wesleyan.
|
|
Q:
|
Why does Wesleyan combine Reunion Weekend and Commencement?
|
|
A:
|
Bringing together all members of the
Wesleyan community (the senior
class, parents, alumni, faculty
members and administrators)
provides a unique opportunity for
learning, for renewing old
friendships and for meeting new
people in the Wesleyan family.
Over the past three years, we have
experienced synergy in the
successful combination of
Homecoming and Family Weekend.
Wesleyan combined Reunion and
Commencement for the first time in
May 2000, and according to
feedback from students, alumni,
and their families, it has been
resounding success each year.
|
|
Students and parents can enjoy the rich schedule of
WESeminars traditionally
offered during Reunion
Weekend, and can network
with alumni.
|
|
|
Alumni have a chance to meet with faculty members and
students, and they can help
celebrate Commencement by
welcoming a new group into
the alumni body.
|
|
|
Faculty members can connect with former students and
graduating seniors as well
as with parents.
|
Although the weekend is designed
to bring the Wesleyan community
together, it also offers many
opportunities for alumni and
seniors to spend time with their
classmates or families. The wide
array of activities allows
everyone to create his or her own
memorable Reunion and Commencement
experience.
