East Stroudsburg University invites community members to campus for its annual Family Weekend activities, Friday, October 4, through Sunday, October 6. 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 local businesses.

The weekend will host events both on and off campus for all ages and interests. Legacy families are invited to a breakfast reception at the Henry A. Ahnert Alumni Center with President Welsh for the annual Pinning Ceremony and their induction into the ESU Legacy Program. The Schlisler Museum of Wildlife and Natural History and McMunn Planetarium will offer tours and a film, free for ESU students. The Warrior Food Pantry will be collecting donations of non-perishable food and toiletries, and donors will be entered in a giveaway. ESU will also have a table at the Pickle Me Poconos Festival on Crystal Street in East Stroudsburg.
