We hope you'll plan to join us for Homecoming and Family Weekend, October 8 through 10, 2009. The weekend will hold many opportunities for you to become better-acquainted with the College and to spend time with your son or daughter on your own. Below, you can find the details on what's happening throughout the weekend.
The $12.50 Family Weekend Pass includes the Friday Happy Hour Reception,
lunch on Saturday, and entrance to the football game. Parents are also invited to join us for a complimentary breakfast on Saturday morning with Dean of Students Rob Flot.
