Towson University will be extra busy on Saturday, Sept. 20 as the campus continues with its annual Family Weekend events.
Students and their families will be able to enjoy a variety of different events found on a college campus. These include athletic events, special performance arts events, dinner programs, information sessions and the ability to experience firsthand some of the campus services regularly provided to students.
Students and their families will populate campus during Towson University’s annual Family Weekend.
“This is a really festive time for our students and their families to enjoy this great campus,” said Joyce Herold, Family Weekend advisor and coordinator of off campus student services in Student Activities. “And it’s a great time for parents, siblings, aunts and uncles to show pride in their student and support their college career.”
Saturday begins with the Towson Parent Conference, which includes sessions that help parents understand the challenges of being a college student. Topics include academics, finances, being supportive, making new friends and working with stress. The parent conference will be held on the third floor of the University Union.
