“We are very excited to welcome over 5,700 family members and supporters to campus to celebrate Family Weekend,” said Missy Mathis-Hanlon, director of parent and family services. “While Family Weekend is a tradition that dates back to the 1950s, we hope that today’s programming illustrates for families how focusing on the student experience both inside and outside the classroom is a winning combination for success throughout their student’s life.”
