  • How to Promote Services to Students & Families

    Family Weekend 2016 will be held from Friday, September 30th through Sunday, October 2nd.  During these three days, over 6,000 students and their families will be on campus to engage in Family Weekend events and activities. 

    There are two opportunities for Storrs campus programs/offices/departments to reach these attendees by connecting with them in person:

    The first is a Resource Fair during the Family Weekend Check-In process.  From 9am until 1pm on Saturday, October 2nd, families will be coming to the Student Union Ballroom to pick up their Family Weekend welcome packets.  During this time, we are offering campus partners the chance to sponsor a table. 

    The second opportunity is to promote an 'open house' in your own space.  If your program/office/department is open for students and their families to stop by and meet the staff, connect with your students, and collect more information, we can include this 'open house' as part of the official Family Weekend schedule. 

    To sign up for one or both of these opportunities, please email Eric Bouchard in the Student Activities - Programs Office at eric.bouchard@uconn.edu.  Please include the program/office/department you are a part of, which opportunity you are interested in participating in, and a brief description of what you plan to promote.
