Hosts Needed for Royal Nights
The Royal Nights students will arrive on a Sunday between 3 - 4:30 p.m. and participate in planned activities that evening. They will stay overnight with a student host, and on Monday, they will attend classes and depart late in the afternoon. We are looking for current students who live on campus to host the Royal Nights guests in their rooms. Hosts meet students when they arrive on Sunday afternoon, have the option to participate in the different activities that evening, provide sleeping space, and help the Royal Night students checkout on Monday afternoon.
Please consider this opportunity to show your Scranton pride. Plus, you will receive two free movie tickets for each weekend you host!
Royal Nights Dates:
Sunday, Feb. 12, 2012 - Monday, Feb. 13, 2012
Sunday, Feb. 19, 2012 - Monday, Feb. 20, 2012
Sunday, Feb. 26, 2012 - Monday, Feb. 27, 2012
Please sign up to be a host here.
If you have any questions, please contact Amy Arnold, admissions counselor, at arnolda2@scranton.edu.
