CAL U WELCOMES FAMILIES
Posted on September 17, 2012
In
one of the highlights of the fall semester, Cal U students will welcome their
families to campus with a series of special events during the 34th
annual Family Day. Formerly known as Parents Day, Family Day brings parents,
family members and friends together with their Cal U student for a full day of
fun, including athletic events and a variety of other activities. Last year, more than 800 students and family members
participated. From
4-8 p.m. Friday, free movies will be shown in Vulcan Theatre and musicians will
perform outdoors at the Natali Amphitheatre. Family
Day registration begins 8 a.m. Saturday at the information desk in the lobby of
the Natali Student Center. The
Parents Leadership Council will meet at 9 a.m. in the Kara Alumni House. A
Family Day brunch will be offered, for a fee, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. in the Gold
Rush Room inside the Natali Student Center.
The
University Choir will give a free concert at 11 a.m. at the Emeriti Faculty
Fountain, on Third Street. Other
activities are planned from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on the campus Quad. Faculty members
from the Department of Art and Design, Greek Life groups and the Student
Government Association will be conducting activities. The popular Kid Zone,
sponsored by the Black Student Union, will provide fun for all ages with games,
entertainment and face painting. Tours
and activities also are planned at Vulcan Village, on the south campus,
including a
picnic-style lunch for parents and families. Complimentary shuttle service from
the Natali Student Center will be available. Family Day activities conclude with the Vulcans’ home
football game against IUP beginning at 3:30 p.m.
