Over the weekend, parents, families and supporters of students gathered on campus to celebrate the University’s annual Family Weekend. Organized by Parent and Family Services, this weekend offers a chance for those who support our students to experience campus life, connect with their students and explore the various academic and extracurricular opportunities available. This year, the event saw an impressive turnout with over 5,700 people in attendance.

Take a look at some of the highlights from this year’s festivities!
