Premiere Weekend 2014
March 29 & 30, 2014

This is an annual event for accepted students and their parents/guardians. We invite all accepted students to join us for a weekend of fun and friendship. This is an opportunity for you to get to know the campus as well as your future classmates. The weekend includes information sessions regarding student life, campus clubs and activities as well as special parent-only sessions related to "letting go" and supporting the transition to college studies. We sponsor a reception with faculty and entertainment for you and your parents/guardians.  All event participants may schedule an individual appointment with Financial Aid.

Given the popularity of this event, attendance is limited to the accepted student and her two parents or guardians only.
