Family Weekends
Family Weekends at OSU are a great time to visit your student on campus and spend some quality time together. We host two designated Family Weekends per year, with one in the fall semester and one in the spring semester. In the past, these were also called Dad’s Day or Mom’s Day which led to some confusion. We're all in the same Cowboy Family, so let’s make this easy. Family Weekends are for anyone you call family whether they're in the family group text or not.
