Maryville College’s annual Family Weekend will feature a variety of activities offering something for everyone – from athletic events to experiencing campus life with your student. The scheduled activities provide time to reconnect with your student, see their favorite places on campus, join in MC traditions, explore Maryville, meet their new friends, and make some new friends of your own. Take lots of photos and be sure to share them, using #MaryvilleMoment. I look forward to seeing those who can join on Saturday for the Scots Family Breakfast along with Dr. Bryan Coker, President, and Dr. Dan Klingensmith, Vice President and Dean of the College. Contact Student Affairs at 865-981-8302 or email Student.Affairs@maryvillecollege.edu if you have questions.

We hope to see you there!
