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.

Fall Family Weekend

September 18-20, 2026

Pre-orders of Family Weekend t-shirts will open in late summer. Order links will be posted on this site.

Event and activity information for Fall Family Weekend will develop throughout the summer. Check back for more information.

We look forward to having you on campus to celebrate the Cowboy Family!

Spring Family Weekend

Dates for Spring 2027 Family Weekend are still being considered and will be announced during the fall semester. Please stay tuned to the Cowboy Family Portal for the latest information.
