Join Your Student at BC’s Family Weekend 2012

Dates will be announced soon!

We invite you to re-unite with your student during Family Weekend! Family Weekend offers you an opportunity to sit in on classes, to meet with faculty and/or advisors, and, of course, to spend time with your student. Events on campus include hikes, athletic games, and much more. You may also want to take time to enjoy our quaint downtown area of Brevard and the beautiful Pisgah Forest.

A very special part of Family Weekend is our “Senior Pinning,” which will be held Friday. Seniors will be honored and presented with a special pin by a significant person of their choice. Senior Pinning is an invitation only event. Formal invitations are sent directly to the student and to the family members.
