Family Weekend

Family Weekend offers opportunities for students and their loved ones to spend quality time together enjoying campus and community.

Fall 2020 Parent & Family programs

Because we cannot safely gather for an in-person 2020 Family Weekend on campus, we are offering virtual programs and events for parents and family members in the coming days and weeks. Check back often for new events added to the calendar!
