We are so sad to announce that we have made the difficult decision to cancel Cyclone Family Weekend that was scheduled for September 18-20, 2020. This decision was made to best align with the university guidelines for physical distancing. We understand that this may be another item on a long list of things that have been canceled that you were looking forward to. We too are feeling sad and upset about not having the same kind of experience you imagined for Cyclone Family Weekend.
We have a great group of creative and eager students that are already thinking of ways to celebrate our families this fall virtually. Watch our social media for more information on how you can participate.
Hi everyone! It was great to see you all yesterday! Feel free to come to the volleyball tailgate going on now til 12:30 to grab some food before the game! 😊
