The Office of Orientation and Parent Programs at Georgia Southern University will host the university’s annual Fall Family Weekend on Oct. 7-9.

The main events for the weekend include a dessert reception, Parents Association breakfast, pre-game tailgate, and the Georgia Southern University vs. University of Tennessee-Chattanooga football game. A detailed schedule of events can be found on the Parent Programs Web site at: http://students.georgiasouthern.edu/parent.

The complete 2011 Fall Family Weekend Package costs $35 and includes tickets to the dessert reception, pre-game tailgate, the Eagles’ football game, plus discounts to local attractions and an official Family Weekend T-shirt.

Partial packages are available for $25 and do not include a football ticket. This package is designed for season ticket holders and Georgia Southern students (who receive free entry to the game with a valid student ID).

The Parents Association will host a brunch Oct. 9, which is complementary for two members of the Parents Association and $7 for additional guests.

The deadline to register for this year’s Fall Family Weekend is Sept. 22. Reservations can be made online at: http://students.georgiasouthern.edu/parent.
