FAMILY WEEKEND 2007
Friday, October 5 - Sunday, October 7

Families are invited to visit their students and experience the campus in full swing when the golden aspen trees are at their best. Our schedule is usually very informal as we have found our students want time with you to catch up on family news and to introduce you to their friends.

Below you will see list of Suggested Events.
