· You will return to campus on January 5, 2013 no later than 9:00 p.m. You will have entry to your room that evening.

· Your lodging, all meals and course materials are included. There are no out-of-pocket expenses.

· Please bring your laptop computer. You will need this for some of the educational sessions. If you do not have a laptop, please contact Elsie Cimorelli at 804-752-3103 or ecimorel@rmc.edu

· Alcohol will be present at some of the sessions; only those age-appropriate will be able to partake.

· A photographer will be present to photograph and record participants during the various activities and sessions. You will need to sign a photo release form so that we may use these photographs on the EDGE website and publications.

· We take your commitment to Boot Camp very seriously. We are only able to take a select number of students to participate in this experience, and as a result, some students were not accepted. If you need to cancel, please do so by December 4^th as a $250 fee will be assessed for those who commit to Boot Camp but do not show up to participate in the event. This is a time commitment that has no cost if you accept and attend- but cancellations after December 4^th will have an assessment. Consideration is given on the event of immediate family tragedy, death or serious illness.

We trust that you will find this to be a rich experience, equipping you with an action plan and skills needed to enhance your future, giving you a competitive EDGE on any path you choose to take upon graduation from Randolph-Macon College. Congratulations! The EDGE Team looks forward to your participation! Any questions, do not hesitate to contact Elsie Cimorelli at 804.752.3103 or ecimorel@rmc.edu .
