The two-day event, Oct. 27-28, included a myriad of campus activities — academic showcase, symphony orchestra concert, tailgate lunch, football and soccer, and Choose Your Own Adventure social events that ranged from Painting with a Twist to Mix-n-Mingle Bonfire to Last Call Team Trivia to Haunted 糖心视频 Tour.

Smiles, laughter and joy said it all as families posed for selfies, and Brown & Gold swag became the fashion statement of the day.

Approximately 550 people participated in this year's Parent & Family Weekend, which was highlighted by a 59-35 against the Capital University Comets.
