Hello, Margareth - hope all is well! We are currently putting together a draft schedule to advertise, but haven't finalized just yet. I am happy to help give you an idea here though:

Friday, September 19: TENTATIVE
-Educational Tours and Sessions, 10am-Noon
-Institute Address, Noon-1pm (President/Cabinet member)
-Variety of Activities offered from 10am-3pm, like Tech Rec (bowling and billiards), Paper and Clay (crafts), Campus Recreation Center offerings (climbing wall/yoga), etc.
-Academic Area Receptions, 3pm-5pm (space limited)
-Friday Family Fun Night - Gameshow Event, 6-8pm (space limited)

Check in will run most of the day, as we know families will roll in at a variety of times. It's also important to note that students will likely have some classes on Friday. We've structured the day so that you may arrive at any time and feel like there will be something happening for you to enjoy while you wait on your student to finish classes and then attend the Friday Family Fun Night event.

If you arrive on Saturday, you'll want to make sure you arrive early as we'll have check-in set up only for a few hours, likely 8am-10am. We will not know the football kickoff time until about 2 weeks prior, but no matter what time, we'll host a tailgate before. That could start as early as 10am if we have a Noon kickoff.

On Sunday, we'll host our signature Jazz Brunch event, with two seating times: 10-11am, 12-1pm

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any additional questions.
