So when's a Weekend, anyway?

Washington Weekend is next week -- Thursday - Sunday, April 24-26!

Now you may wonder why it's called Washington Weekend, when it takes place from Thursday - Sunday. You're probably thinking, "Hey, I've tried but my boss refuses to consider Thursday part of the weekend." We feel your pain.

Truth is that as an alliteration, Washington Weekend sounds, well, wonderful! Beyond that though -- there's just too much stuff to pack into 3 days. You can come back Sunday to see some great baseball when the UW's baseball team takes on UCLA. There's also plenty to see on Sunday at the Henry Art Gallery and Burke Museum. And don't forget the Burke Museum is free to alumni all weekend long!

And of course, if you can start the weekend early, come to campus on Thursday or Friday - you won't be disappointed. Besides the big open houses, there's something for all tastes -- check out some rare, one-of-kind movies at Film Soup on Friday or get tips from an expert on finding health information online.
