We could not be more excited to share this weekend with you and your student! Family Weekend is a fall tradition that has existed at SIUE since 1999. This weekend is dedicated to all Cougar family members and provides students with a chance to express their gratitude and appreciation for those who have supported them. During the weekend, families have an opportunity to see where their students live and learn about the amazing opportunities available to students on campus. Activities are available for the entire family to enjoy. This yearly tradition is a great opportunity to make memories with your student, meet other SIUE families and learn more about the university. Please reach out to kimmelhub@siue.edu if you have any questions prior to the event.

Your purchase includes: a Homecoming/Family Weekend tote bag, complementary snacks at Eddie Palooza, entry for the bag’s tournament, eligibility to win prizes at the Bingo Bee, and additional events throughout the weekend. 

Are you yourself an Alumni of SIUE? If so, or your family includes multiple generations of Cougars, we want to celebrate with you during Family Weekend! Close out your weekend with a brunch in the "Legacy Room" in the Morris University Center to recognize your special bond. Tickets for the Legacy Brunch are available as an add on at check-out. We are thrilled to welcome you back to campus and honored to be a part of your family's traditions and history.
