Ongoing school-wide events are part of the spirit of Walnut Hill College. The school has so much to celebrate - welcoming new students to our community, autumn harvest, the coming of spring, the dog days of summer, and the ongoing successes of each one of our graduates.

At Walnut Hill, the school year begins with a new students' Convocation ceremony and continues with a Student Success Fair, an upperclassmen Welcome Tea, tours, seminars, and much more. Friends and Family Night brings together the entire school community of students, faculty, administrators, staff, family, and friends with an open house extravaganza of food, wine tastings, culinary demonstrations, and fun.

In the autumn, Walnut Hill hosts an authentic German Octoberfest with bratwurst, schnitzel, and apple strudel. A Mardi Gras party complete with gumbo, jambalaya, and shrimp etouffee breaks up the February doldrums; and the annual Book and the Cook event in March offers students a chance to work alongside some of the country's leading food professionals. The Spring Carnival lets students relish the simple pleasures of carnival fare--cotton candy, popcorn, and funnel cake, while trying their hand in a free throw contest, or having their palm read or fortune told.

Scattered throughout the year are many other varied events, ranging from a Halloween party to a Wing Bowl, to the AIDS Walk and blood drives.
