Family Weekend Sept. 20 - 22, 2024
Family Weekend is a time-honored tradition for the Washburn University community! It's a great time to visit with family and friends, enjoy activities on the Memorial Union lawn and tailgate before the football game. Check back for more details as we get closer to Family Weekend 2024.
Future Ichabods are invited to join!
Washburn invites junior and senior high school students to join Washburn students for Family Day fun. The first couple hundred high school junior and senior students will receive free tickets to the football game and a free meal voucher for them and two guests. Tickets and meal vouchers are first come, first served. Look for the "Washburn Admissions" tent on the Memorial Union lawn. Also, at the end of the first quarter, Washburn will draw for two $1,500 scholarships. One scholarship for a current Washburn University student and one for a junior or senior high school student who has applied to attend Washburn. Students must be present to be granted the scholarship.
