Flashback Friday! 🎶

Spring at Wingate has always been a reason to celebrate! During Springfest, students gathered for an afternoon of sunshine, music, and campus fun.

One unforgettable highlight? The Chairman of the Board from 1995 brought beach music, sh****ng, and plenty of energy to campus, making it a day to remember.

Who remembers spending Springfest on campus? Share your favorite memories in the comments! 💙
