re:Fresh & Homecoming
Shenandoah is hosting a special event for first-year student families called re:Fresh on Saturday, Oct. 2 at the Brandt Student Center, Ferrari Room.
Parents will get “refreshed” on the resources and opportunities that Shenandoah offers and also enjoy some brunch. All families are invited to visit and spend time with their students. Our re:Fresh event is part of Shenandoah’s Family Weekend & Homecoming (Sept. 29-Oct. 3), which means there are so many activities families and their students can experience, from the Homecoming & Family Weekend Tailgate and football game and other athletic contests, to Shenandoah Conservatory’s performance of “Dracula,” to exploring the Winchester area’s recreation, shopping, entertainment, historic downtown, dining and more!
Shenandoah buzzes with excitement this weekend, and we hope our first-year families will take this great opportunity to visit with their students and enjoy, together, so much of what makes this place so very special.
Please register by Sept. 27, using our re:Fresh registration form.
You are encouraged to relax on campus or explore historic downtown Winchester and the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. Visit www.visitshenandoah.org.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Student Affairs at studentlife@su.edu.
Additionally, please take a look at the university’s Personal Conduct and Social Distancing Policy to know what to expect when you come to any of our in-person events on campus.
