Family Weekends

Spend some quality family time serving Payne County Youth Services with the OSU Student Volunteer Center. Volunteers will help with yard work, painting, general organization, and other helpful tasks. Limited to 20 volunteers and pre-registration through the Family Weekend registration link is required.

Bring your student on a challenge course adventure for a discounted rate of $30/person (regular rate $40-$50/person). OSU's Challenge Course provides a series of physical and mental challenges including games, obstacles, and problem solving activities designed to help participants stretch their comfort zone and develop individual confidence in a supportive atmosphere. Limited to 25 family members and pre-registration through the Family Weekend registration link is required.

Sign up to volunteer or to participate in the fun run, 5K or 10K, in memory of the 10 men from the Cowboy Basketball family who tragically lost their lives in a plane crash on Jan. 27, 2001. Proceeds benefit the Remember the Ten Scholarship Program for students in OSU's counseling and mental health graduate programs, who helped the Cowboy family heal in the days, weeks and months following the tragedy.

Make a memory, make a difference and celebrate the unique products of the State of Oklahoma at Made in Oklahoma... STATE! During this inaugural Spring Family Weekend event, OSU Family Engagement will host vendors from the Made In Oklahoma program, have volunteer stations where family members can make a difference through various projects for different causes, and will host a dedicated "family photo" area for capturing a reminder of who helped you make your amazing Family Weekend memories.

Bring the family to view works borrowed from the Guild Hall Museum in East Hampton, New York, including works by Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock and many more. The artists involved in this exhibition greatly contributed to the artist developments of the late 19th and early 20th century. Additionally, the museum will be hosting "Lean Into Abstraction: A Student Showcase," highlighting OSU student creations.
