Families Weekend

Families Weekend, held every October, is a time for families to experience their student’s world: from academics to athletics and co-curricular life. This weekend program gives families a deep sense of the history that surrounds students; the strong connection between faculty and students in a liberal arts classroom; a time to rest, relax, and reflect; as well as visit with students and their friends. It is truly a community wide event.

2009 Families Weekend is scheduled for October 16-18, 2009.
For further information, please contact Co-Curricular Life at 434-381-6134.
