Gallery: Praise Day Friday opens Family Weekend

September 20, 2024 by Sarah Thompson

Family Weekend is underway as students attend Praise Day Friday and engage with athletes in the Campus Center. The women’s volleyball team greeted students at chapel and promoted their upcoming games. After a time of worship, students were met with a CAB club-level seat giveaway for tomorrow’s football game. Members of the football team promoted their game by handing out cookies to students. In the Campus Center, the Student and Small Business Fair featured student businesses and Follies merchandise.
