East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania invites community members to campus for, its annual Family Weekend activities, Friday, September 21, through Sunday, September 23. As ESU continues to celebrate its 125th Anniversary, this year’s Family Weekend theme is The Past, Present, and Future. Family Weekend events are designed to welcome students’ families to ESU and to familiarize them with the campus, businesses and activities within the greater Pocono region.

The weekend will celebrate parents, grandparents, siblings and extended family with activities for all ages and interests. The Schisler Museum of Wildlife & Natural History and McMunn Planetarium will offer tours and shows, there will be interactive exhibits, and plenty of fun with our Warrior mascot. ESU will continue its CANniversary by accepting donations of non-perishable food items for the Warrior Food Pantry. The first 150 families to donate will receive a thank you bag that includes a free t-shirt and giveaways from area businesses.
