Fall Parent & Family Weekend

We are saddened to inform you that due to lack of registrations, we have had to cancel the following events: Beer Tasting, Canvas Paint Night and the Cornhole Tournament.  We hope to revive these events again during our Spring 2021 Parent and Family Weekend, when hopefully, we might be together in person.   

The FAMILY SCAVENGER HUNT is STILL ON.  Plan to receive your clues and tasks on Saturday morning, November 7.  We hope you have fun with this event. Take pictures and post the on the Parent and Family Facebook page.  We'd love to see how it went.  

The Dad of the Year, Hugs from Home and Letters to Students are still available. 

Schedule of Events 

Saturday, November 7

• All day - Let us take you on a whirlwind tour of all our favorite locations! Anyone can get in the game, no knowledge is required: all you need is a sharp mind and a good pair of shoes. Work together on this hybrid scavenger hunt with you and your student. You have the clues, your student has to find the location or item and take a photo!
  Register here

Sunday, November 8

• 2 p.m. - Dad of the Year announcement
  University of Idaho students are invited to nominate their dads or guardians for the 2020 Dad of the Year Award. Applications are open now until November 4. This award aims to recognize a dad or guardian who has demonstrated support and commitment to their child’s collegiate experience at U of I.
  Go here to nominate your dad for Dad of the Year!

In addition to these events, we also have some things you can do all week long! Starting on November 1, you can participate in these offerings:

• Order a Hug from Home! Our Student Alumni Relations Board (SArb) Committee has put together some awesome baskets for you to order for your student.
  Order here
• Letters from Home - here is an opportunity for parents and families to write and submit some encouraging words to their student. These encouraging words of affirmation, opportunities for reflection, pride, or even hopes for the next four years will mean a great deal to your student. You fill out the form, we do the rest! We will deliver to your student with a special surprise!
  Submit a letter to your student here
