Family Weekend plays important role in student support »

Family Weekend is part of the university’s wide-ranging commitment to delivering a superior student experience in a welcoming, inclusive environment. It helps to connect a student’s personal support network to the university experience so that family members can feel engaged in a student’s journey — and a student can feel a deep level of support both on- and off-campus.
