Illustration by Haley Walton<\/a><\/p>\nUTA Parent and Family Services will host Friends and Family Weekend from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. <\/p>\n
Students and their families can enjoy a variety of events, from volleyball to a planetarium show. Tickets are free for UTA students, and on-site registration is still available with all-access tickets costing $75 for adults and $30 for ages 6-17. <\/p>\n
Lauren Puls, assistant director of Parent and Family Services, said Friends and Family weekend has been a long-standing tradition at UTA since 2006. [cq website <\/p>\n
\u201cThe main purpose of it is to give families an opportunity to reconnect with their student,\u2019\u2019 Puls said. <\/p>\n
The biggest thing that families can gain from the event is quality time, Puls said. The event provides a schedule of different activities to do, but families can also go off campus to explore and see things through their students\u2019 point of view. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a great time of year to reconnect with their student because it\u2019s typically right after midterm exams,\u2019\u2019 she said. <\/p>\n
The All-Access Pass includes a T-shirt, access to activities Friday and Saturday, light refreshments Friday, breakfast and dinner Saturday, a ticket to the UTA women\u2019s volleyball game and admission to the planetarium. <\/p>\n
