For many years on Family Weekend, the Office of Student Living and Learning has welcomed thousands of families to our residence halls.  While we cannot offer the same level of hospitality this year, we continued to be dedicated to connecting families and friends with our residents.  This year, the Office of Student Living and Learning invites you to connect with students through our program: Messages from Home.  Families and friends are invited to craft a message to their student/friend utilizing the form below.  Our office will then print these messages on postcards to be hand-delivered by our professional and paraprofessional staff.  To ensure your student gets their post card, please submit your message no later than 11:59pm, on Saturday, October 24, 2020.  Letters will be distributed on Sunday, October 25, 2020.
