Campus Days Fall 2026 Welcomes Prospective Students to Experience Life at Nelson
WAXAHACHIE, Texas (Nov. 11, 2026) – Campus Days Fall 2026 has officially concluded as one of the largest Fall Campus Days to date.
Held Nov. 5-6, Campus Days provided high school students with an immersive college experience designed to help them explore academics, campus life, and all of the Nelson experience. Over the two days, visitors stepped into the shoes of Nelson students, attending classes, connecting with faculty, and joining some of Nelson’s favorite traditions.
The excitement began Thursday afternoon when guests arrived for check-in and settled into campus before attending orientation. From there, they took guided campus tours and explored the Academic Fair, where they connected with faculty and representatives from a variety of departments.
While prospective students explored campus, parents joined the President of Nelson University, Dr. Kermit Bridges, for dinner and learned more about Nelson’s mission and vision for students.
The evening continued with a Q&A session for prospective students, where they heard firsthand about campus life, academics, and the Nelson experience. They then joined in the energy and excitement of the Block Party before ending the day with a favorite among Nelson students: late-night worship.
Friday morning began with breakfast alongside current students. Guests then visited a variety of classes across campus, experiencing Nelson’s academic environment firsthand. Later in the morning, they joined the student body for chapel, giving them a glimpse into the spiritual life that remains central to the Nelson experience.
Campus Days concluded with meetings alongside Admissions and Financial Aid staff, equipping families with important information and next steps as they continue the enrollment process.
As Fall Campus Days 2026 comes to a close, Nelson celebrates the many students and families who visited campus and explored all it has to offer. The university is already looking ahead with excitement to Spring Campus Days on April 8-9, 2027.
