Family Day
Saturday, September 28, 2019
As a parent, sibling, or grandparent of a Worcester State University student, Family Day is a great opportunity to discover or enjoy your students’ home away from home. Spend time with your student while eating brunch in the Sheehan Hall dining hall, watching a football game, or having your caricature drawn at the Family Fair. The Student Affairs Division invites you to join us on campus for this wonderful autumn tradition.
Note: Online registration is now closed. You can still register for Family Day on the morning of Saturday, September 28th at the Registration/Check-In Desk located in Sheehan Hall, Multipurpose Room 9:30 a.m. – 11 a.m.
