Bring the family to college for the weekend and enjoy the engaging and entertaining Christian college town environment of Moscow, Idaho. That’s what the New Saint Andrews College Celebratio is all about. In short, it’s a family-friendly festival in the midst of our academic year.

The Celebratio event schedule this year features Dr. Alan Jacobs, author of The Narnian: The Life and Imagination of C.S. Lewis. Who better to join NSA Senior Fellow Douglas Wilson for an NSA elective course on C.S. Lewis? And you can be a student in the classroom Thursday night! Beyond Dr. Jacob’s class discussions and Friday lecture, the taste of college and community life in Moscow includes activities like a Writer’s Roundtable for aspiring writers, a Science Day Camp, Talks on Classical Education, a Collegium Musicum choir concert, Moscow’s Farmer’s Market, live music, ball-style dancing, rides and exhibits at the Latah County Fair, Sunday morning worship at area churches, a joint church picnic, and more!

Did we mention it’s free? Please register online at www.nsa.edu so we can plan for your attendance. Some events not sponsored by the college have an admission fee or suggested donation. The Latah County Fair is a separate event, but coincides with Celebratio. Plan now to come to college for the weekend, September 16-19!

Celebrate the student in all of us!
