Family and friends weekend program
The Dean of Students Office is excited to invite you to campus for the annual family and friends weekend program. Family and Friends weekend provides the families and friends of Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK students an opportunity to experience campus life. It’s a great way to spend time with your student, visit with university faculty and staff, and explore and enjoy the Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK community.
Activities for the weekend include opportunities to cheer on Piper athletics, the annual fall concert, a chance to experience the cocurricular community, and much, much more. We welcome you to take advantage of the various programs offered.

Summer orientation and registration (SOAR)
SOAR is the first of two required orientation programs. During this two-day, overnight program, students and families have the opportunity to meet New Student Mentors, mingle with other incoming Pipers, register for classes, and get any questions answered.
Fall orientation
The second required orientation program kicks off three days before classes start and includes move-in day for on-campus students. Students not living on campus still need to attend. We welcome parents and guests to join their students for move-in day and spend the morning helping them get settled in.
