Is Family Weekend for You? Yes, if…

You want to connect with your child. 

You’ve heard your child share about their NGU experiences. You’ve seen the photos, watched the videos, listened to the stories. Now, it’s YOUR turn.

From movie nights and football games, to experiencing life as a Greenville local. Live the everyday epic you’ve learned all about – side by side WITH your child.

You want to connect with NGU. 

You’ve trusted us with what you treasure most – your own child. Family Weekend is your chance to see firsthand how we’re doing.

Experience NGU’s student life on campus. Meet President Fant and staff members from Student Engagement and Campus Ministries. Learn how we’re preparing your child for success both in and out of (and beyond) the classroom.

And, most importantly, get to know the people (our faculty and staff, other students, and their families) who help make NGU a home away from home for your child.
