What is Family Weekend?

Each year Family Weekend offers families an opportunity to share in the UW experience and spend time with their UW 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 the Student Success and Graduation Hub. The hub exists to maximize student support and programming, personalized to their needs. All UW students have access to a support system that includes academic advising, therapeutic counseling, engagement, leadership development, mentoring, tutoring, developmental workshops and most of all – a sense of belonging.

 


 

Dates for 2025 Family Weekend will be determined by the football schedule, typically released in late July. Check back for registration information in late summer!

As part of Family Weekend, the Student Success and Graduation Hub is proud to recognize the Parent of the Year awardee during Family Weekend. Nominees for this award are submitted by UW students, who want to share how great their parent(s) or guardian(s) are. Students are required to write and submit an essay explaining why their parent(s) or guardian(s) are deserving.

The nomination form will open in August, 2025!
