Morehead State’s Family Weekend is Sept. 18-19
The Morehead State University campus community will welcome the family, friends and loved ones of Eagle students for two days of spirited activities during the annual Family Weekend.
MSU’s Family Weekend is Friday and Saturday, Sept. 18-19.
Melisa Patrick (Class of 1983), director of student activities and programs at MSU, said the University has planned a full weekend of on-campus events. There will also be events that take place in downtown Morehead, including the MSU Community Concert and the city of Morehead’s annual Arts & Eats Festival.
“Family Weekend gives you the opportunity to experience your student’s college life firsthand by exploring campus and the community and by meeting their friends,” Patrick said.
“It allows them to share their experiences and lifestyle with you, helping you better understand the opportunities and challenges they may be facing and then discovering how you can best support and encourage them as they grow as both a student and an individual.”
