Calling All Susquehanna Families

Join us for Susquehanna University’s annual Family Weekend, Sept. 12–14, 2025.

We will celebrate our Susquehanna families, friends and supporters with a weekend of athletic competition, art exhibitions in the Lore Degenstein Gallery, special programming and fun, family-friendly activities.

In addition to entertainment, loved ones can join faculty and staff for information sessions about supporting your student from a distance, guiding them in choosing their best study abroad option, helping them prepare for life after graduation and more. Experience all that Susquehanna has to offer during three days packed with activities the whole family is sure to enjoy.

INCLUSIVE. CURIOUS. COMPELLING.
