Family Weekend

Welcome Bulldog Nation!

We look forward to welcoming you back to campus in the Fall for this annual tradition where families get to experience their student’s Home at Gardner-Webb.

Throughout the weekend, families and their students are encouraged to attend social programming, athletic events including a football game with tailgating as well as our worship service and brunch.

We hope that you can join us for Family Weekend in September!
