Charter Day Weekend:
October 10-12, 2025
Charter Day, ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥ College’s homecoming weekend, is held every October during a weekend filled with events. It is a celebration of the signing of the Charter in 1877, which founded ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥ College and it's sister organization, The Academy of the New Church Secondary Schools.
Every year, traditional festivities include ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥ College alumni and friends reception events, tours of various ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥ Historic District buildings, and a golf outing fundraiser for our Student Scholarship Fund.
The weekend begins with a visually-striking procession in which our students march from the Brickman Center to a worship service and address in ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥ Cathedral, led by the country flags of our International Student Organization.
