Family Weekend

October 28-30, 2011

Greetings from the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University!

Another year has come and gone. The class of 2011 have moved on to begin their new careers, continue on with their education, and travel to new and exciting places. With the new academic year, we would like to continue our tradition of commitment to our students and their families. It is our hope that you and your family will plan to join us for Family Weekend 2011 October 28-30. Students look forward to the opportunity to introduce their families at home to their extended families here at CSB/SJU.

We want to encourage you to attend as many events as possible. You can begin on Friday by attending the Joint Events Council family movie. You can also catch a performance from Attention Starved Children, our student improv group.

Saturday is the heart of our Family Weekend programming. Starting out the day will be the 5K Family Fun Run/Walk sponsored by CSB Campus Ministry. Family members have an opportunity to attend campus perspective sessions and a wonderful afternoon carnival on the CSB Mall along with BINGO. We hope to provide opportunities for families of Bennies and Johnnies to meet one another. Be sure to attend the SJU Chili Luncheon and the CSB Family Weekend dinner. Enjoy a Johnnie football game, a Blazer volleyball game, or take in an evening performance of Johnnie Blend. Fine Arts Programing brings The Second City comedy group to perform in Escher Auditorium at CSB Saturday night. The famed comedy improv company is sure to bring an unforgettable performance of side-splitting sketch comedy.

We hope that you will take time out of your schedule to join us for this exciting, fun-filled weekend with your son or daughter.

We look forward to seeing you at Family Weekend 2011. For registration, please go to our online store. This year will be ticketless, so be sure to print and bring one copy per family of the email confirmation which will arrive within 2 business days of registering.

Sincerely,

Theo Eggermont
