Join us this fall!

Event Schedule FAQs

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 painting a pumpkin at the Family Fair (as well as many other activities.) The Student Affairs Division invites you to join us on campus for this wonderful autumn tradition.

Family Day 2023 is scheduled for Saturday, October 28.
