South Campus Living Showcase

New for 2023 Family Weekend is the South Campus Living Showcase on Saturday, Nov. 4, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“Campus teams wanted to create an opportunity to welcome students, families and supporters to learn more about the many offerings of living on South Campus. This is especially important as approximately 50% of second-year students will live on South Campus,” says Missy Mathis-Hanlon, director of Parent and Family Services.

Throughout the showcase, visitors are encouraged to board designated trolleys to South Campus leaving from the Schine Student Center and the College Place bus stop, which will drop them off at the model apartment and also bring them to the Goldstein Student Center. Highlights offered throughout the event include the following; complete details are available on the calendar event.
