Starting Friday and ending Sunday, more than 1,000 families will fill the campus for the annual Falcon Family Weekend.
The events of the weekend are hosted by the Office of Campus Activities.
“We think this weekend is another opportunity for students and family to engage in the University,” said Chris Bullins, associate dean of students.
More than 30 family events and activities are available for registration. Events include the football game, as the Falcons take on Murray State, and a live musical performance at Bryan Recital Hall.
Guest tickets for the game, which is Saturday at 3:30 p.m., are available for $10.
“We are excited for the game, and hope families can participate in Falcon Tailgate Park before the game,” Bullins said.
During halftime will be the recognition of the Parent of the Year, an award given to a nominated parent who “provides ongoing support,” and shows other “admirable traits,” according to the University website.
Starting at 4 p.m. on Friday, Parking Services will go into “weekend enforcement,” which means parking will be open for the duration of the weekend.
Aside from the events, other features this weekend include: 15 percent off dining hall meals for family members accompanied by a student; and student rates for family members accompanied by a student at the Forrest Creason Golf Club.
