We hope you can come and celebrate Family Weekend with us! This is a great time to tour the campus, experience Chapel, sample athletic events, music concerts and other activities with your student all weekend! The Admissions Office is also hosting its Fall Preview, which is a great time for high school-aged siblings of current students to learn more about Asbury! If that isn’t enough, stroll through downtown Wilmore or venture out to the Asbury Equine Center. Fall in Kentucky is absolutely beautiful!
