Family Weekend 07
October 5-6

Family Weekend is the perfect opportunity to visit with your CCAD student, meet faculty and staff, and experience first-hand the excitement at CCAD when the semester is in full swing.

While we know you want plenty of time to visit with your student, we are also arranging for many activities that will be exciting for the entire family. A carnival (with inflatable games, free food, and prizes), a faculty vs. student football game, a tailgate party, a "mini float" competition, tours of campus, and informative presentation are all on the docket to entertain and engage the whole family, as well as provide an opportunity to meet other students and parents. Also, siblings are invited to stay overnight in the residence hall with their brother or sister.
