Friends & Family Weekend Welcome Reception

Kick off Friends & Family Weekend by joining us for our Welcome Reception! This is a great opportunity to connect with students, families, friends, faculty, and staff as we celebrate the start of a fun-filled weekend together. Enjoy light refreshments, meet members of the Flagler community, and learn more about the exciting events and activities planned throughout the weekend. Whether you're visiting campus for the first time or returning for another year, we're excited to welcome you and hope you'll join us as we begin the weekend together!

Campus community, come celebrate with us!

Join fellow students, faculty and staff on Thursday, September 24, from 11:00 A.M. to 1:30 P.M. on the West Lawn for a special Founders Day celebration marking the close of Flagler Forward, the College’s first-ever capital campaign.

Enjoy lunch, sweet treats, live music by Pocket Knife Dance Party, activities and giveaways as we come together to celebrate Flagler’s past, the incredible impact of Flagler Forward, and all that lies ahead.

Each year, Founders Day gives our campus community an opportunity to honor the visionaries who established our institution and laid the foundation for the College we know today. Traditionally celebrated on the anniversary of Flagler College’s first day of classes in 1968, Founders Day is a time to reflect on where we began and celebrate where we are headed.

This year’s celebration is especially meaningful. Together, the Flagler community has elevated the people, places and programs that make Flagler exceptional through Flagler Forward, helping build a stronger College for generations to come.

At 12:50 P.M., gather with us for a special moment as President John A. Delaney shares the incredible impact of Flagler Forward and what this milestone means for the future of Flagler College. You won’t want to miss it!

Come for lunch. Stay for the party. Be part of this special Founders Day as we celebrate what we’ve accomplished together and look forward to what’s next.

We can’t wait to see you!
