Information for Family and Friends

Visits

Parents and guardians are always welcome to visit their child during the program. If you wish to come for a visit during the program, please contact the NIAHD office at least 24 hours before your visit to let us know you are coming and if you plan to take your student off campus. You may contact us by email (precol@wm.edu) or phone (757-221-7652).

For security reasons, we discourage visitors who are not immediate family or grandparents. We require written permission from parents/guardians for any visitors who are not family members. If a parent/guardian of another student wishes to take your child off campus for any reason, NIAHD will require your written permission.

Phone Calls

Students should bring their own mobile phones to stay in touch with family and friends. If you call your children and they do not answer, they are probably immersed in the program (mobile phone use will not be permitted during class time except for emergencies). Please try again later and feel free to contact the NIAHD office if you have serious concerns.

Email

Students will be fully connected to the W&M Wi-Fi, so they will have ready access to their personal email accounts throughout the program. Students will also have W&M email addresses that they can share.

Mailing Letters & Packages

Mail will be delivered to the NIAHD office, and the RTAs will take letters and packages to Landrum Hall. The NIAHD Office is closed on weekends so try to avoid Saturday/Sunday delivery dates whenever possible. Letters and packages should be sent to the addresses below:
