Students, faculty, staff, alumni and family members came together October 21 23 to enjoy LIM Colleges inaugural Friends & Family Weekend. Featuring three days of exciting events throughout the College campus and New York City, Friends & Family Weekend provided an opportunity for parents, siblings, and even grandparents, to experience a slice of College life and spend quality time with each other.
Casino Night kicked off the festivities on Friday, offering attendees the chance to win LIM Bucks by playing roulette, blackjack, poker and slot machines in Maxwell Hall. The funny money was then turned into raffle tickets for LIM College and designer merchandise. The evenings big prize, a $5,000 drawdown raffle, was shared by Alexandra Penberg (Class of 2011) and three friends.
Saturday offered non-stop action, starting with a breakfast and private shopping session at Henri Bendel and concluding with the Colleges annual Drag Show, held this year at Bowlmor Lanes in Times Square. In between the two, participants could walk to raise money for lupus research, attend a forum about adjusting to college life, or catch the second annual Flaunting Fearlessly student fashion show. On Sunday, a brunch at the Townhouse, hosted by President Elizabeth S. Marcuse and featuring a performance by LIM Colleges Ultimate Choir, topped off the weekend.

Here is what a few participants of the weekend had to say:
"Casino night was very professionally organized. The complimentary food and drinks were wonderful, as were the $100 in chips. The drawdown had a lot of suspense, which was great."
"The Henri Bendel's event was a lot of fun and more social than I was expecting."
"The Brunch with the President gave us a great opportunity to meet the administration."
"Very happy to be able stay at 1760. Very convenient."
"This event was extremely well-organized, and one would have never know this was the first year you had planned such an event. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!"
We'll see you at Friends & Family Weekend in 2012! Dates coming soon.
