parents weekend

Family college reunion

Parents weekend is a designated time, typically in fall, when colleges and universities invite students' parents to visit campus.

The event usually includes campus tours, meetings with faculty, social gatherings, and attendance at sporting events—giving families a glimpse of student life while reinforcing their connection to the institution.
