Family Weekend 2024
Family Weekend is when we welcome UWL Families to campus and show off all the amazing things we have going on. We want you to feel comfortable and familiar with the institution your student attends, and Family Weekend is an excellent way to get to know UWL. We're looking forward to seeing you for Family Weekend 2024: October 4-6th!
We are excited to see you on-campus! Whether you come for one day or the whole weekend, we look forward to having you visit.
