ESU Welcomes Families and Community to Campus

East Stroudsburg University invites community members to campus for its annual Family Weekend activities, Friday, September 23, through Sunday, September 25. The weekend is designed to bring campus and community together, and introduce students’ family members to the campus and surrounding Pocono Mountains region. Families can learn more about their students’ lives at ESU, as well as participate in fun events held by ESU and the local community.

The weekend will host events on campus for all ages and interests. Legacy families are invited to a breakfast reception on the Main Quad with Interim President Kenneth Long for the annual Pinning Ceremony and their induction into the ESU Legacy Program while first generation families are invited to spend time getting to know the campus and surrounding communities. The ESU Observatory will be open for star gazing on Friday, evening, The Schlisler Museum of Wildlife and Natural History will offer tours Friday and Saturday, the Warrior Bash will have sand art, stuff-a-plush, baby goats and more, and ESU’s Family Amazing Race Experience will have families competing around campus.
