What is Welcome Weekend?

New Student Welcome Weekend is for all new incoming students! This weekend is designed to welcome new students to the Judson family by introducing them to all that Judson offers.

Attendance is required for all new, incoming students. Re-admit and graduate students are not required to attend. Parents, you are welcome to attend and we have sessions just for you. You will be free to depart following the Commissioning Chapel on Friday after 5:30 p.m.
