Details
We offer a range of package options for you to be able to build your schedule with the events that interest you and your student. Family Weekend events are fully funded though the revenue of packages sold. You will need to purchase a package per person. This provides funding for all rentals, musicians, parking, and food provided through the event. Your DU student will gain access to all events and meals included in your package through the student package add on. When you arrive for the weekend, you'll check-in at our family lounge and receive your event badges, food tickets, and swag for the weekend!
While our complete schedule with the 70+ events is being finalized, below is a brief description of the events for the weekend.
