Family Day 2026 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!
Come enjoy carnival themed activities, games, and fun for all ages under the Blue and Gold Top - plus special family-only activities, including our highly anticipated Dad Joke-Off! Dads, start preparing those jokes now! Sign-up details here.
Following the tailgate, attendees are invited to visit the Horne Arena to support our Bearcats basketball teams as they compete against the University of North Georgia Nighthawks. Tickets are $5 at the door. Find more information on our Athletics webpage.
