    Farewell Dinner

    Join us for a special Farewell Dinner as we celebrate the beginning of an exciting new chapter for our newest students. This gathering is open to all new students and their parents, families, and guests who are still on campus following move-in.

    Enjoy one final meal together before families head home and students begin their college journey. The evening will include remarks from the President, Provost, and other campus leaders, offering a warm welcome, words of encouragement, and best wishes as students embark on this exciting experience.

    We look forward to sharing this meaningful sendoff with you before the start of the academic year.

    Student dinner is free; guest dinner is $10 per person, plus processing fees.
