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.

As part of Family Weekend, the Student Success and Graduation Hub is proud to recognize the Parent of the Year awardee during Family Weekend.
