Join your fellow Lions on Oct. 28-29 for UAFS's 2022 Family Weekend!

Family Weekend is a great way to experience your student and their life on campus. This year we have both in person and virtual programming opportunities from our annual Chili Cook-off to our Lion’s 5K – so there is something for everyone! We would love for you to share your photos and videos on social media with #UAFSFamilyWeekend.
