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.
Our 2025 dates are set and we are working to build a fun schedule of activities. The registration link will be available here soon, so please feel free to check back in!
We look forward to seeing you in October!

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.
