Family weekend starts Friday, Sept. 19, 2008 at LWC

Full schedule for September 19, 20, and 21, below

By Duane Bonifer, LWC Director of Public Affairs

Lindsey Wilson College will open its A.P. White Campus to friends and family members on this weekend as the college celebrates Family Weekend.

This year's Family Weekend includes an athletic event, campus tours, presentations by international students, a classical guitar recital, corn toss tournament and a session about how to get involved with sailing.




"Family Weekend is a great time for parents, family members and friends to learn more about what makes Lindsey Wilson College such a special place for their loves ones," said Student Activities Director Bobbie A. Owen. "The last time most family members and friends saw the college, the campus was abuzz with activity during move-in weekend. Family Weekend gives family members and friends and chance to see a much more relaxed Lindsey Wilson College."

Diversity of programming is the key when planning an event such as Family Weekend, Owen said.

"We've assembled a variety of events that should appeal to just about everyone's tastes," she said. "And what's great about Family Weekend is that you can come for just part of the weekend or being involved with events across all three days."

This year's Family Weekend also includes a partnership with a Columbia business, Cafe on the Square. Since opening earlier this year, the business at 212 Public Square has become a de facto student center for Lindsey Wilson students.

"Our students spend so much time down there and hold many of their events at the Cafe, so it seemed like a natural place to hold some of our events," Owen said. "It also helps illustrate the close connection between the college and the community.

We want family members and friends to see what a great place Columbia is for their loved ones to attend college."
