The Admissions Office is hosting its Fall Preview, which is a great time for high school-aged siblings of current students to learn more about Asbury! Our Music department will showcase its many ensembles, and Athletics will need your help to cheer on our Eagles as students play throughout the weekend. If that isn’t enough, stroll through Wilmore and venture out to the Equine Center. Fall in Kentucky is absolutely beautiful!
