Schedule Information
Friday, October 7
Welcome to Campus
Family Weekend Welcome and Check in begins in the Benson University Center at 10:00am and continues until 7:00pm.
Activity Block One: 11:00am – 1:00pm
The weekend begins with tours, workshops and presentations throughout campus. Knowing that time flies when you are having fun, this year we have removed the pre-registration requirement for tours and workshops. This should allow families to “go with the flow” and enjoy experiences without the need to rush to the next obligation. Spacing is still limited, and tour groups will be taken on a first come-first serve basis. Planning is underway, so check back frequently to keep up with developments!
At lunchtime, families can check out one of our campus dining locations or explore areas near campus (Winston Salem has some great restaurants!)

Tours, workshops and presentations continue.
