Family Weekend

SAVE THE DATES: Thursday, Oct. 17 - Sunday, Oct. 20, 2024 — more details to come in June. 

Parent and Family Weekend is one of the most joyous times of the year here on the Hilltop. You’ll see students proudly showing off classrooms and dorm rooms as they guide their families along the path of a typical day. You’ll also have a multitude of events to attend — or not. How you schedule your visit is up to you; we’re always just happy you’re here!
