BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—Family weekend is an opportunity for families to experience their students’ home at ɫƵ-Webb. This semester’s event is full of activities happening on campus at 110 S. Main St. In addition to special programs, a full slate of athletic events is also scheduled, including lacrosse, tennis, baseball, and men’s basketball.

Associate Director of Student Engagement Jessika Raduly plans Family Weekend each semester. “I enjoy families on campus living in the life of their student for a day or two,” Raduly observed. “Families always make our events exciting and special.”

Families enjoy competing in the ThinkFast Gameshow.

A favorite event of Family Weekend is the bingo game. Families come together to play a fun round of bingo and win prizes. Registration is required for the free event on Feb. 21 at 7 p.m.

Another anticipated tradition is the Senior Pinning Ceremony, which is a time to commemorate all that students have accomplished over the last four years and to express gratitude to those who have impacted their college experience. During the ceremony, each senior will be “pinned” with the commemorative GWU senior pin by a guest they choose to honor.  This can be a faculty, staff, family member or friend.  The ceremony includes faculty and student speakers, entertainment and refreshments.
