Family Weekend

2025 Dates Coming Soon

Each year, we invite you to join your student on campus to spend a day in classrooms, attend a Trivia Beacon Night, meet professors and staff, watch athletic games and much more! Family Weekend is designed to give you a glimpse of your student’s day to day life as a Beacon.  We partner with hotels in the area to offer parents discounts when available.  Please view our Hotel Recommendations for more information.
