Make Plans to Join us for Grandparents Day!

Pay tribute to the special relationships that exist between you and your grandparents, or those who have filled that role in your life! Grandparents Day at ��̽̽App is a celebration of the relationships and caregivers God has placed in our lives. Your grandparents or special guest will get to see first-hand what college life is like for you!

Your grandparents or guests will attend a Continental Breakfast, learn more about ��̽̽App during a morning Welcome Session, attend Chapel with you, and enjoy a Special Musical Performance by ��̽̽App students.

The cost to attend Grandparents Day is $15/guest. Students do not have to pay.

“My Grandparents were PROUD ��̽̽App grandparents ❤️🤍

They looked forward to grandparents weekend at ��̽̽App for the whole year. We toured all over Marion, and I have tons of stories from those days. It was one of the highlights of my college years. I couldn't recommend it enough for current students to bring their grandparents to campus for the weekend. I'll cherish those memories for the rest of my days.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost?

The cost to attend Grandparents Day is $15/guest. Students do not have to pay.

Please

Where should I park?

Grandparents will be invited to park in the Center Hall and Phillippe Performing Arts Center parking lots. There will be signs on campus directing you to the parking areas.

Will there be golf carts?

Yes! We will have golf carts running throughout the day to help get you from point A to point B. Just step outside of whatever building you are in and flag one down. Our volunteers love to provide the golf cart shuttles!

Are classes cancelled that day?

No, unfortunately not. We have a certain number of days that we have to have classes and so we cannot cancel. We also believe that being a part of the campus on a regular day is part of what makes Grandparents Day so awesome!

Can I sit with my student during chapel?

Yes! We encourage you to sit with your student! This continues to be one of the most special times of the day. There is nothing like worshipping alongside your college student!

Can I attend class with my student?

Yes! We simply ask that you communicate your desire to attend class with your student. That way, the student can discuss that with the faculty member to make sure that there is room for everyone in the classroom.

Do I have to do everything on the schedule?

No. The day is your own! We want to create the space for you to interact with your student. Feel free to pick and choose what items on the schedule that you would like to participate in!

Can I eat lunch with my student?

Yes! Your lunch ticket will work in either the banquet rooms or Baldwin dining room. Also, your student can use their ID to eat in either location. (Tip…if you are pressed for time…the line in the banquet rooms is often faster and easier to navigate than the regular dining room.

Can I bring someone with me that day that isn’t a grandparent?

Yes. We encourage family members and friends to attend with the grandparents. We do ask that each person that attends completes the registration so that we know how many people will be attending.

How many grandparents will be there for this day?

We usually have approximately 600 guests that day. It is one of the most fun days to be on campus!
