Lambert and wife Laurie Lambert at Maynard House.

Families on campus for the weekend can also attend Elon’s first Family Weekend football game to be televised, as the Phoenix take on UNC Charlotte at 7 p.m. in Rhodes Stadium. The game will be preceded by a tailgate party on the promenade at Elon’s new Global Neighborhood and the Phoenix Walk, which gives fans the chance to cheer on the Phoenix football team as they make their way to the stadium led by Elon’s marching band and cheerleaders.

Saturday will also feature a special session for siblings of fun and games as well as bus tours and seminars designed just for grandparents.
