If you’re on campus this weekend, odds are you’ll be seeing a lot more parents here than normal. But don’t let it freak you out, because it’s family weekend.
Family weekend, being held on November 5th and 6th, is an opportunity for families to get to visit students while they are at school, and see what they are experiencing while they are away at school. It is often held annually at colleges across the country, often in the Fall semester, and attended by many first-year parents.
For students and families alike, there will be many Pace sponsored events to keep their schedules full this weekend. For example, there will be a Family Breakfast this Saturday at 10:00 a.m., where President Friedman will speak to attendees. Following the breakfast, families will be able to visit the open house for the school that their student is a part of, like Dyson College of Arts and Sciences, or Lubin School of Business. This will give relatives an opportunity to learn about the different courses their student is taking and take part in interactive sessions. Similarly, there will also be informational sessions held later in the day. Students and their families who are sports fan will also have the ability to attend the football and volleyball games at 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m., respectively.
Wrapping up the day, following a dinner, there will be a Casino Night for students and families to play poker, blackjack, and other games. After a day of informational sessions, Sunday’s celebrations will include trips to Broadway to see the shows “Aladdin” and “Matilda”.
