Parent & Family Involvement Day 2024
September 28, 2024 - POSTPONED
Due to the widespread and significant impacts of Hurricane Helene on our campus, local community and across the state, the University has decided to postpone its Parent & Family Involvement Day, which was scheduled for tomorrow (Saturday, Sept. 28).
The safety and wellbeing of our students, employees and guests is our top priority, and we recognize that many are facing challenges as a result of this storm. The University will reschedule this event to a later date in the academic year, when we can safely welcome our parents and guests to campus for an enjoyable day with their students in Bearcat Country. Further details about the rescheduling will be communicated as those plans are made. Please stay tuned.
Parent & Family Involvement Day 2024 is a fun-filled event where you can create lasting memories with your loved ones!
Spend an exciting day together on campus as you learn more about Lander’s rich history and get a taste of what Lander and Greenwood have to offer --- all while connecting with other families and discovering what makes our community so special!
