Homecoming and Families Weekend  

October 14-16

 

Sweet Briar is about Family. This year, we combined Families Weekend and Homecoming so we can gather the entire Sweet Briar family. Whether you are an alumna or a parent, when you return to Sweet Briar in October it will be a weekend full of activity. The cost is $30 per adult and includes the community lunch on Saturday afternoon. (Children under the age of 12 attend the weekend for free.) Highlights include: 

  • Screening of the film Secretariat
  • Lecture by Kate Chenery Tweedy  (Author and historian, daughter of Penny Chenery, owner of racing legend Secretariat)
  • Riding Equitrial
  • Regatta and Community Lunch
  • Field Hockey vs. Virginia Wesleyan
  • Innovative Education: Common Reading Program w/Faculty Panel
