We want to invite you to join the activity Sept. 26-28!
Maryville College’s annual Family Weekend will feature a variety of activities offering something for everyone – from athletic events to experiencing the campus and surrounding area with your student. It’s a great time to join in MC traditions, meet your student’s new friends, and make some new friends of your own.
We invite you to register by Sept. 22 so that we can better prepare for those attending. Among the “must dos” is a night time cinema on the lawn with the Student Programming Board, Mt. Challenge Alpine Tower, and Family Weekend Tailgate and hangout spot at Saturday’s Scots Football Game against Pikeville. A schedule of activities is listed below.
We look forward to seeing those who can join on Saturday for the Scots Family Tailgate along with Dr. Bryan Coker, President, and Dr. Ben Stubbbs, Vice President and Dean of Students. Contact Student Affairs at 865-981-8220 or email FamilyInfo@maryvillecollege.edu if you have questions.
We hope to see you there!
The registration fee of $20 (per each family member) includes discounted meals in Pearsons Dining Hall on Friday and Saturday, lunch at the Family Weekend Tailgate on Saturday, access to all campus events. Children under the age of 5 are free. After 5pm Sept 22 the cost increase to $25 per family member.
