Special Events - Family Weekend

Parents are always welcome on campus, and many visit frequently. We encourage you to visit whenever it is best for you, but we recommend that you try to attend Family Weekend in the fall to participate in the special programs offered and to meet other parents. Family Weekend is a weekend of classes, faculty lectures, athletic events, and student performances; open forums on financial aid, internships, study abroad and careers; and informal social gatherings for students and their families. Family weekend is usually held in late October or early November. A "Save the Date" card will be mailed home over the summer, and a detailed schedule of events will be mailed out and posted on the Parents Website about a month in advance.

Looking Ahead

Family Weekend 2008 will be Friday, October 31 through Sunday, November 2, 2008.
For an example of a typical Family Weekend, see the 2007 schedule of events.
