Marquette’s Family Weekend will be held from Friday, Sept. 25, through Sunday, Sept. 27. Family Weekend is held each fall for parents and families to connect with their students, Marquette and Milwaukee.
Events are open to all family members of Marquette students. Family Weekend includes many types of activities that allow you to explore Marquette and Milwaukee. You can decide if you’d like to explore the campus scene, venture out for fun in the city, or a little of both.
