“We are creating fun and engaging events that will include innovative programs for everyone to enjoy from the safety and comfort of their home,” said Cyndy Hill, director of the Penn State Parents and Families Program. “From virtual tours and college events, to programs that highlight the talents and skills of our students, we think you will enjoy the event. We are especially excited that the virtual format is more accessible for families who could not otherwise travel to campus.”
In addition to the event, the Parents and Families Program will offer Family Care Packages for both families and students, which will soon be available for purchase, and for delivery in late Sept./early Oct. Each family package will include special Penn State items, a car magnet, and additional University-branded items; student packages will include a special Penn State gift, and other spirit items.
“We hope you will make plans to participate in a weekend of fun, informative and engaging virtual events that aim to offer an enjoyable Parents and Families Weekend experience,” said Hill.
More details, including a schedule and registration information, will be available on the Parents and Families Weekend website in mid-Sept. Questions about the event may be directed to the Penn State Parents Program at parents@psu.edu.
