Family Weekend Winter 2012

February 24 and 25, 2012

Throughout Family Weekend you are treated to a college fair, presentations, demonstration classes, and a Landmark Sharks basketball game. As has become our tradition at Landmark, we will honor our new Phi Theta Kappa members with an official induction ceremony on Friday, which all are invited to attend, along with an afternoon filled with various campus activities. Saturday offers several educational and informational sessions.

Family Weekend is a wonderful time to meet the faculty and staff of Landmark College, through the many social events, workshops, and presentations. Parents meet with their son's or daughter's academic advisor who are on hand throughout the weekend. We believe it is beneficial for students to attend these meetings and participate in the conversation as part of our focus on helping students to develop and take charge of their own learning.

Register online by February 20.
