September 21–24, 2023
Week of Welcome is an important time for both you and your student(s). Just as we intentionally ensure that your student is smoothly introduced and incorporated into the University of Oregon, we believe that you should have a relationship with the university, as well. We hope you will join us for the following Week of Welcome events presented by Parent and Family Programs.
Thursday, September 21
Parent and Family Lounge: 9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m., EMU Green. We invite you to visit us at the Parent and Family Lounge during move-in. Come relax, enjoy refreshments, write a letter to your student, and meet university faculty members and staff. This is an informal space and families are welcome to come and go as they please.
Letters from Home: While visiting the lounge, please stop by to pen a heartfelt “Letter from Home.” Your words of encouragement, excitement, and reflection will be delivered to your student through their on-campus mailing address during the fourth week of fall term.
Parent and Family Marketplace: Check out some local partners and businesses that want to welcome you and your Duck family to the city of Eugene.
