Sold Out!
It’s the start of the school year and a new group of first-year students need to be drafted into their New World Magischola Houses: Calisaylá, Croatan, DuBois, Laveau, and Obeah. Everyone has new course schedules and is eager to meet the new faculty and Chancellor, as well as to see what this year of wizard college entails. This is a full four-day NWM event taught as magical college, with robes, ties, and the house sorting ceremony for first years. The event culminates with the Welcome Ball, where all students and faculty come regaled in their finery and see take part in this long-standing tradition.
Tickets are $595.
When: June 21-June 24, 2018
Where: Mount Holyoke College, MA, USA.
Who: Anyone 18 and above
