Campus Visit
Mark Pruitt at Harding University has invited each of you to register for a campus visit while you are at Harding for the tournament. The day begins at 8:00 am, includes the 9:00 am campus chapel service which all students attend each day, and then continues on from there with a tour of campus, academic appointments, presentations, etc. They will even treat you to lunch! If you are a high school student and would like to sign up, fill out the form at https://www.harding.edu/admissions/visit and they will get that set up for you. What a great opportunity to check out a wonderful school!
