Salvete Omnes, Mihi nomen est Olivia! I am super excited to be one of your RAs this summer! As you prepare for academy, something to keep in mind is that you will not have access to your phones. You may be asking yourself, how can I possibly keep in contact with the outside world? Although it may seem old fashioned, writing letters is a great way to keep in touch with your family and friends during your stay at Randolph-Macon. In order to write your letters, I encourage you to pack:
Here is the address you should direct your family and friends to send mail to: Governor’s Latin Academy Randolph-Macon College P.O. Box 5005 Ashland, VA 23005-5505 You will be given time daily to write letters and any mail received will also be distributed at this time. After writing and addressing your letters, you can give them to any of your RAs or elected Quaestors. We will deliver them directly to the post office each morning. Mail usually takes around 3-5 days to be delivered and package delivery time may vary a bit more. Writing letters can be therapeutic and may help you reflect on your experiences at GLA and process feelings of homesickness. It means a lot to receive a note from family or friends when you have been away, it definitely helped me a lot when I was a student at the academy! Below I have attached an outline of a filled-out envelope including your academy address in the top left. Your RAs and teachers will always be willing to help if you have any additional questions or concerns. Also, I just so happen to work at a stationary store, and in the event that you forget to bring any letter writing supplies, I will be happy to share mine with you! I'm looking forward to meeting you all very soon! Valete, Olivia
