Family Weekend | Parents Association

Family WeekendOctober 2 & 3, 2020

Participants from 2016 Parents Weekend at opening events.

Out of abundance of caution for the extended Husker community, Family Weekend at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will be offered virtually in fall 2020.

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 virtual activities, meet other Husker families and create memories together.

All family members are invited to participate in virtual activities.
