Family Weekend 2008 DePaul's Family Association Invites you to Save the Date for Family Weekend 2008, October 17-19 Dear DePaul Parents & Family Members, It’s hard to believe, but it’s time for another DePaul Family Weekend on October 17-19, 2008. We sincerely hope you will join us.
We attended our first Family Weekend last October, about six weeks after we had tearfully left our then freshman and only child, Jack, at the big University in the even bigger “Big City.” We were of course anxious to visit him and see how he was adjusting to his new life, but we were also anxious to learn more about the University and the city he now called home.
We were not disappointed then, and we do not think you will be disappointed this year. There are tours, cultural events, athletic events, open houses at various University offices and buildings, and an abundance of informative programs that will help you and your student get the most out of the DePaul experience academically, socially, and spiritually. And don’t forget to take advantage of the various brunches and receptions where you can meet other parents and share your experiences as well.
Adjusting to college life can be tough for both student and parents, but we have found that DePaul University and its annual Family Weekend have provided us with the tools, information, and services to make this adjustment easier. And it’s great fun, too! And a great excuse to come to Chicago! We hope to see you in October.
