This weekend, the College of Wooster will welcome an estimated 350 to 375 families to celebrate the college’s annual family weekend.
A wide variety of events will be offered to both Wooster students as well as their visiting family members, ranging from athletic events and a capella performances to research presentations by faculty and experiential learning presentations by students.
“Family weekend really provides an opportunity for families to see the campus and what is offered at the College of Wooster,” said Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Special Programs Ben Hancock, who helped organize and publicize family weekend. “There are a lot of cool things in terms of what students are involved in.”
With five athletic events, an improvisational comedy show and many picnics and tailgates, students and visiting family members will have no problem staying busy.
“We try as hard as possible to cram as much into a couple of days so that parents can get a feel for what student life is like at the college, both in terms of the academic as well as the co-curricular opportunities,” Hancock said.
