Family Weekend is an opportunity for parents and siblings to see what college life is like, as well as to tour and explore the Tri-Cities area. On campus events are planned throughout the weekend, but families are encouraged to do some sightseeing in the local area as well. There is no required pre-registration but be sure to stop by registration in the SUB for your registration packet, a gift from your hosts, and coupons for area attractions and restaurants.
Get directions and find out about hotel accommodations here.

Any weather-related changes will be posted here, Milligan’s Facebook page, and emailed to students. Please keep an eye on those updates the week of the event, as winter is unpredictable here, there, and everywhere.
