As of Friday, September 29th, registration for Family Weekend 2023 has closed.  If your family did not register in advance online, you can still register in-person at the Family Weekend Check-In located in the Student Union.  Both of the Family Weekend specialty meals have sold out/closed.

Registering for Family Weekend is FREE!  Despite being free, families are strongly encouraged to register in advance.  There are two Specialty Meals, with a per person cost, offered by UConn Catering; a BBQ on Saturday afternoon and a Brunch on Sunday morning.  There are also two Signature Events, with a per person cost, listed below for your family’s consideration.  All events with a per person cost are optional.

The online registration process for Family Weekend will close on Friday, September 29th at 5pm.  After the deadline passes, you can register in-person at the Family Weekend Check-In located in the Student Union.  However, not registering in advance limits some of the perks of the weekend and you will not be able to purchase the specialty meals.

Magician/Comedian and recent Critics’ Choice nominee Justin Willman has cemented himself as one of today’s most prolific entertainers. In his Netflix series Magic for Humans with Justin Willman, he brings his skills as a magician to the strange and misunderstood subcultures of America, while incorporating his disarming demeanor into street magic and social experiments that will boggle the mind. Indiewire called Willman the “perfect magician/hybrid prototype with incredible comedic timing,” and the L.A. Times exclaimed that Willman is, “A new breed of magician who’s making magic cool again for grown-ups.”
