The Center of Global Engagement is hosting an International Tailgate for the Saturday football game against Samford. International students will be able to experience an American football tradition by gathering together for food and games before the big game. More details and sign-ups for international student and scholar services’ events are sent out in the BU World Weekly newsletter each Monday.

This year, even the construction on I-35 isn’t enough to stop alumni parents from traveling to see both their students and their alma mater for Family Weekend starting this Saturday.

This Family Weekend, three Baylor families reflected on how The Lariat had shaped not only their college years, but also the careers and callings that followed for their children.

In its 65-year history, Baylor Family Weekend has taken on many forms. From a one-day event in 1960 for parents to meet their children’s professors to a weekend-long shindig complete with a barbecue picnic, the event has served many purposes. But every year since 1960, the event has had one chief goal — giving the families of Baylor students a glimpse into life on campus.
