High school seniors and their parents are invited to a special tailgate called Thursday Night Lights at the Oct. 2 home football game at ̨ʹٷվ Community College’s Raymond Campus.
From 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., they can enjoy free hamburgers and prizes and speak with ̨ʹٷվ recruiters and administrators about admissions, scholarships, housing, majors and more. They can also visit with coaches from all of our athletic teams, as well as band, cheer and Hi-Steppers.
“This is a really fun event for high school seniors as they’ll have a chance to hang out with current ̨ʹٷվ students and faculty on campus, and they’ll get a glimpse of college life as they tailgate and cheer on our ̨ʹٷվ Eagles at a home game,” said Kathryn Cole, director of Enrollment Services.
As part of the event, they will also get free admission to the football game, which begins at 6:30 p.m against East Central Community College at Joe Renfroe Stadium on the Raymond Campus
