PARENTS & FAMILIES

Family Weekend

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!

CELEBRATE USF

Celebrate the vibrant community of families, students, and alumni at the heart of our university. Don't miss out on CelebrateUSF, part of our annual Family Weekend tradition that takes place every October.

Go to Family Weekend. Meeting other parents makes us feel that we are not alone and that we are a team with USF. It’s unity.”
