EF New York Juniors Presentation
Welcome to EF New York Tarrytown Campus! Presentation • Located in beautiful Tarrytown, 15 minutes by foot to town • Population is around 11,500 people • Approximately 45 minute train ride to Manhattan
Jocelyn Chung: Groups and Juniors Coordinator Jocelyn manages the Activity Action Leader (AALs) team and the Junior Coordinator (JCs) Team. She is available to assist with airport transfers, group transfers, activity planning, and all things related to groups and juniors!
Junior Coordinators Junior Coordinators are designated staff available to serve our Junior students. Junior Coordinators are responsible for leading Juniors Orientation, chaperoning off campus trips (such as Manhattan and sports games), organizing on campus activities, accompanying Juniors to doctors visits, conducting bed checks, and much more. JCs live on campus, and operate on a rotating schedule, which includes being “on duty” in the late evening and early morning hours. We hope that throughout their stay, our Juniors feel comfortable to reach out to our JCs for any questions, concerns, or just to hang out.
Activity Action Leaders Activity Action Leaders are the primary on-site contact for group leaders. They are the chaperones for trips and activities, and can provide guidance in the face of housing, administrative, and/or academic issues. AALs greet our groups at the airport and accompany them back to campus (applicable only to groups that have booked a Group Transfer through EF). Overseeing and taking care of the students remain the responsibility of the group leader; however, the AAL can be of assistance when needed. We ask Group Leaders to be respectful of our AALs’ time.

EF New York School Policies The safety and security of our youngest students is always a TEXT HERE high priority at EF New York. The policies and procedures reviewed here have been created with this goal in mind. We ask students to uphold these policies at all times. There are no exceptions! International Language Centers
Residence Hall Curfew • Residence Life will place students under the age of 18 in Lugari Hall, in a “minor” designated room, when possible. • Each student must sign in to the residence hall nightly prior to official curfew time. • Curfew for students under the age of 18 years old is 23:00 Sunday- Thursday, and 24:00 on Friday and Saturday. • JUNIOR curfew applies to all students booked as a JU/JI course, and is set at 22:00 every night.
Sign In and Bed Checks • Students under 18 must sign in with the security officer at the entrance to their building prior to curfew. • Students who are not signed in will be subject to bed checks, which are conducted nightly by our Residence Advisors or Junior Coordinators. • Students who violate the curfew, or other campus policies, will be subject to disciplinary action, which includes disciplinary fines, community service hours, and letters to parents. • Repeat curfew offenders may be sent home.
Waivers and EF Activities We do not accept any form of parental consent for remaining off campus past curfew.
