While we understand the excitement of being on campus and wanting to see how your student has updated and organized their room, unfortunately, due to COVID the CDC and NJ Department of Health states the College should “limit access to dorms and residence halls by non-residents.” As a result, we cannot permit families or other non-residential students to enter our halls during Parent and Family Weekend. To stay up to date on guidance and any shifts in our health and safety protocols, you may refer to our Health and Safety page here.
