Alumni & Family Weekend is a ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ tradition that offers a variety of fun activities and special events for students, alumni, and families alike for one weekend every fall. Alumni will enjoy mini-reunions with friends and classmates, and get to see first-hand what’s new on campus. Parents and families will be on hand to see how their sons and daughters are doing after a couple of months away at college. Friends are sure to enjoy all ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ has to offer during this can’t-miss weekend.Alumni & Family Weekend Guide
