Parent and Family Weekend!
      Plan to join your student for Homecoming Weekend!  Come enjoy a Shakespeare Festival play, then mix and mingle and meet President Wyatt at our Family Reception. 
     Pick up some SUU gear, and then experience "Forever Red"... an evening where we celebrate with live music, food, and fun!
     The next morning, join us for a 5k followed by pancake breakfast at the Alumni House.  Follow breakfast up by watching the Homecoming Parade. 
    Consider taking a hike on one of the beautiful trails near SUU. Watch our volleyball team take on NAU, then join us for a tailgate party, before we cheer on our  Big Sky Conference winning football team, who will take on Portland State.
     The following day our soccer team plays Portland State on the soccer pitch west of the Centrum.

Experience Thunderbird Nation for yourself!   Sign up on our Parent  & Family webpage.


Advice to share with your student about taking care of themselves
  1. Treat yourself!  Rewards are crucial and can be small things like candy, a soda, or a new pair of socks.
  2. Unplug for a few hours. This includes phones, laptops, tablets, etc.  The world will not end-we promise.
  3. Sleep enough. You decide, but this should be a top priority.
  4. Spend time outside. Do this every single day. Walking to and from class doesn't count.
  5. Connect with loved ones. Call home-parents, siblings, friends, etc.
  6. Spend some time by yourself.  Shut out the world for a minute and regain focus.
  7. Find community.  SUU has many ways to get involved. Make connections on and off campus.
SUU has a Care and Support Team that are caring faculty and staff who are there to support students.  Tell your student to look for the CAST logo on office doors and windows. Find them on FaceBook.
