ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ families are invited to a reimagined Family Weekend, as the university hosts the first-ever virtual Family Fall 2020, beginning Sept. 29.
ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ’s Family Weekend tradition has taken on a new form this fall, as physical distancing requirements are still in place, but parents will still have a chance to reconnect with their students and the campus community during the reimagined, virtual experience “Family Fall: More Than a Weekend.”
Family Fall will include a variety of events to help families explore campus alongside their students and connect with faculty, staff and other ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ families. The schedule for Family Fall 2020 was officially released on Wednesday.
The festivities will commence with the College Coffee Catch-up on Sept. 29. The event will allow families to participate in one of the university’s oldest and most appreciated traditions, College Coffee. It’s a chance for families to have virtual discussions with their students and other members of the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ community over a cup of coffee or their favorite snack. Participating families will receive College Coffee Catch-up discussion prompts to help guide the conversation.
Family Fall 2020 continues through Nov. 11 with a number of events for all interests. Families will hear a university update from President Connie Ledoux Book, they can also take part in a “Coffees with the Deans” series, a concert and all sorts of other entertainment throughout the event. Find the full Family Fall schedule and register for upcoming events here.
Families can also show their ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ pride throughout Family Fall 2020 with a Family Fun Pack, containing a garden flag, window clings, postcards and more. .
