Don’t miss out on tailgating, soccer games, picnics and dueling pianos during Family Weekend, happening Oct. 4-6 on the campus of the University of Missouri—St. Louis.

New students are encouraged to come out and experience campus life with their family members. Shop the latest styles in school apparel at the UMSL Bookstore and enjoy fashion shows, games and prizes during halftimes.

Amidst the fun and games, there will be campus tours and community service projects. The UMSL family will come together to nurture campus gardens, create cards for military service members and make fleece blankets. Other off-campus projects include repairing a rental house for a family through Beyond Housing and assembling school supply bags for children as part of the Kid Smart program. Additional service projects are listed on the weekend itinerary.

Register online here for Family Weekend. Weekend package deals are $12 for students and $25 for family members. Soccer game tickets alone are $7. The picnic and festival, evening of dueling pianos, campus tours and service projects are all free.
