Parent and Family Programs Host Annual Spring Family Reunion
The Spring Family Reunion will be Friday and Saturday, April 20-21.
In 2007, the first Spring Family Reunion was held as a sequel to Family Weekend due to overwhelming excitement and attendance. Now the university invite parents and family members back to campus each spring to reunite with their students and the University of Arkansas, in addition to partaking in various family friendly events.
Spring Family Reunion will be held on April 20-21 this year! Parents and family members of current University of Arkansas students can join the reunion and cheer on the Hogs during the Red v. White scrimmage and the other weekend events! Packages for the weekend will be $20 and will include:
- Friday Night Live: Japanese Spring Festival: Join Friday Night Live, the Japanese Student Association and Parent & Family Programs as we explore the Japanese culture with native food, origami crafts, caricatures and a Japanese Fashion show. This carnival type atmosphere is fun for everyone and is a great way to spend Friday night!
- First Year Photo Project Gallery Showing and Reception: FYPP is a yearlong program that encourages first year students to document their University of Arkansas experiences through photography. Students are asked to take pictures that represent their University of Arkansas pride, service to the community, everyday college life and much more. Join us for this exhibit and reception and catch a glimpse of life of a college student.
- Tailgate Party: The program will have food, fun activities for all ages, and music. Don’t know the Arkansas traditions? Stop by and we’ll get you Razorback ready! Bring your family and join us before cheering on the Hogs!
- Red v. White Game: The Red v. White game is the perfect end to a great weekend. Call the Hogs, catch a glimpse of the Razorbacks for next season and enjoy spending time with your student.
