About Family Weekend:

Each year Family Weekend offers families an opportunity to share the UW experience and spend time with their own special student. Parents, grandparents, siblings, and other family members of currently enrolled UW students are invited to visit the UW-Laramie campus for an event-packed, memory making weekend! Family Weekend is hosted by Cowboy Parents and the UW Division of Student Affairs.

We look forward to seeing you in 2013!
