Transition & Parent Programs

As a new ASU student and family, we invite you to attend the following programs hosted by Transition and Parent Programs:

Fall Welcome

Held the week before classes, Fall Welcome is the official event that welcomes new ASU students and their families to campus.  With over 100 activities and events, all FREE, Fall Welcome is the perfect time to learn about all of the great things ASU has to offer!  Fall Welcome 2008 will begin on Wednesday, August 20th and conclude on Sunday, August 24th.  To view the complete schedule of events, please visit the Fall Welcome web site.

More to Explore

After Fall Welcome concludes, there is still more to explore at ASU!  More to Explore is an initiative to encourage student involvement in activities, clubs and organizations.  Held during the first three weeks of the semester, More to Explore offers new students a variety of opportunities to get involved both inside and outside of the classroom.  Visit the More to Explore for more information. 

Family Weekend

Held nine weeks into the fall semester, Family Weekend is a great time to come back to campus to visit your son or daughter.  Family Weekend 2008 will begin on Friday, October 24th and conclude on Sunday, October 26th.  We invite you to join us on campus where you can attend class with your student, talk with ASU faculty and staff, attend the Family Weekend Tailgate and go to Sun Devil Stadium to watch the Sun Devils take on the Oregon Ducks. We encourage you to bring the entire family to Family Weekend. We also have a sibling visit program filled with fun activities for younger brothers and sisters to learn about the ASU Tempe campus.  To learn more about Family Weekend, including registration information please visit our Family Weekend web site.
