The advancement office sponsors several special events each year:

Day of Encouragement -- an annual day-long event in February designed to inspire, encourage, and equip God's people for ministry.

Parents' Weekend -- Parents' Weekend offers the families of students the opportunity to get acquainted with the campus, meet professors and enjoy recreational activities together. Each fall about 1,000 guests take advantage of this opportunity to attend a music festival, theater production, sporting events, classes and enjoy special meals with their Dordt College student.

The Great Plains Experience -- June 1-6, 2008. The Great Plains Experience offered a week of exploring the amazing landscape, history and culture of the Great Plains with Dordt College professors James Calvin Schaap and Robb De Haan.

Dordt Discovery Days -- June 23-27, 2008. A great combination of learning and fun at the end of June for students entering 7th, 8th, or 9th grade. Each Discovery Days week offers more than 20 courses for youth with a wide range of interests, including engineering, art, drama, music and sports. Information about the 2008 Discovery Days will be posted at a later date.
