Family & Friends Weekend
Family & Friends Weekend Cancellation (10/4):
Due to ongoing challenges to those impacted by Hurricane Helene and limited makeup days, we have made the difficult decision to cancel Family & Friends Weekend this year. All Eventbrite guest tickets have been refunded without incurring any fees. We invite all Koalas and their guests to attend one of the many upcoming programs:
Boo-Riffic – October 23, 2024 at 6-8 PM on The Green
Ludy Bowl Spirit Week (Oct. 21-25) Spirit Cup Winner Announcement – October 26
Senior Chapel and announcement of the Savory Award – November 8, 2024 at 12 PM in Spears Concert Hall
Columbia College Homecoming – February 1, 2024
Class Ring Ceremony – February 21, 2024 at 4 PM
Hurricane Helene Update (9/27):
With the safety of our students, faculty, and staff in mind, we are postponing the events for Family & Friends Weekend (the BBQ Lunch & First Family Meet & Greet) until a later date. We will let you know once they have been rescheduled. Any potential changes to the athletics events currently scheduled for tomorrow will be announced later today. Please stay tuned to Columbia College Athletics for information regarding those events, and please stay safe!
Schedule of Events
Parents, family, and friends join us on campus from September 27 to 29 to see what your Koala has been up to during the first few weeks back on campus. Enjoy fun, games, food, and prizes for everyone. This year, we invite everyone to a home women’s volleyball game against Truett-McConnell and optional off-campus activities with community partners.
