WIT weekend continues

Back from day two of WIT Family weekend. Day one we had Stephen pick out our pumpkin, sign us in as a family but did not attend Casino Night...S had plans with his new buds and we got to watch our nephews and learn new and interesting facts from Evan. :D As for day two...bright and early on our way to the city....Michael taking the wheel (phew) no median strips being driven over HAHAHAHA.....met 3 new families, ate a very delish free lunch, took a walk to the Pru for a lil, had tons of fun walking and explorin the campus, did some cool stuff to raise money for the Jimmy Fund (love a good cause). While the boys watched a soccer game I went to see the deans address who btw in a room full o people before she spoke made a bee line right to my seat to say hello and tell me how happy she was to see me...her fellow Italian girl on campus :D ......when I went back to find the boys at the field house Michael asked if I made my way to the Dean..I said nope SHE made her way to me ...SHE LOVES ME! :D A 3rd years students mom heard me and said you know the dean personally! YUP I DO! lol lol...After some more outside activities on the quad we went to the pumpkin area that smelt pretty nasty. Ok it smelt FALL LIKE...lets put it that way! They were lining up the carved pumpkins with glow sticks for tonight's hayride that we will forgo since we left S to tend to his group of friends. This other family to not have to drive 3 hours north are staying in a area hotel and we will be meeting them for a quick dinner in a lil bit. Funny how they went 40 mins north of the city to get a decent hotel rate. Bright an early tom. am we head back for the jazz breakfast. Also it was so exciting to see the new student center that is being constructed...a ten million dollar project that will be named the Flanagan Something Center when complete in March 2012....the 10 mil was donated by Mr. F a WIT alumni who must have done well for himself. The BEST was seeing the presentation of how WIT students are working with the City of Boston to make the WATER FLOODING situating make rhyme or reason in the age of over population of the city. WIT Civil Engineering students are drawing up programs to have excess rain water be utilized in holding wells that will make the flooding situation have better flow and less taxxing on streets and the sewer system. Just hearing and seeing the real life input this institution has make me beam with pride to have our son be able to learn at a place that you are not a number and can thrive in the path you choose to study. The under 3900 or so student population make it easy to have an 18 to 1 ratio. That also makes me feel good that they are very much focused on by the professors. So far we are pleased and delighted to be parents of a Wentworth student. That is why we got the shirts you see in the pic. Pink for me of course....They did have WIT mom and WIT dad shirts but I did not like the fabric as much as I did for these ones. Off to see Tayors parents in Andover and pick up some items to take to him tomorrow. WIT we will see you in the am for jazz brunch!
