Family Weekend

Reasons to Participate

1) Make new memories with your student.
2) Meet other Husker families.
2) Learn more about the university — and your student's experience!

This is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with your student once they have gone off to college. Your student will have been at the university long enough to tell you how things are going, what classes are like, and update you on new friends. We encourage you to catch up, participate in fun activities, meet other Husker families and create memories together. Please note that some of these events require registration.

All family members are invited to participate in activities.
