Designed for Gardner-Webb students and their families, Family Weekend gives families the opportunity to experience the atmosphere of the campus and create memories.<\/p>\n
Throughout the weekend, Gardner-Webb was filled with families who participated in Sweet Bingo, supported the football team at their first home game and attended a worship service along with other families and friends of Gardner-Webb.<\/p>\n
Senior Keanna Caldwell got to reflect and share her thoughts about Family Weekend at Gardner-Webb.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth my younger brother and my mom haven\u2019t seen the campus before. I\u2019m glad that they ended up seeing the campus during Family Weekend,\u201d said Caldwell. \u201cBeing my senior year, I was happy to see my family. I enjoyed showing my younger brother and my mom the campus, and I introduced my family to some of my friends.”<\/p>\n
