With the Spring semester, the dates for Stallion Day are February 4th and April 15th. On Stallion Day, upcoming students can look forward to bringing documents to submit to admissions, ask questions, or apply for admission in Carlton with the help of the Enrollment Management Team, hearing from the directors of Financial Aid, Student Accounts, and Scholarships on all the options available for financial assistance, enjoy fried chicken and listen to the ABAC Singers during lunch with a provided lunch ticket that is free of charge and an $8.50 ticket for other guests.
Students will also be able to stop by the Stallion Shop and pick up an ABAC T-shirt, hat, sweatshirt, and more. Homecoming week also has events for the students to enjoy all week long. One of these events is the annual rodeo. The rodeo will be held on Friday and Saturday, April 14th and April 15th, at 7 pm.
