Come Meet Us in Person
We love meeting future Blazers and their families face-to-face! Throughout the year, our admission team travels across the region to attend college fairs and visit high schools. These events are a great opportunity to ask questions, learn more about Belhaven, and get to know the people who will be guiding you through your admission journey.
Check the table below to see where we’ll be—we’d love for you to stop by our table and introduce yourself!
Or, if you’d like a more personal experience, you can also schedule a visit to our Jackson campus, where you’ll meet our team in person, tour campus, and get a real feel for life at Belhaven.
