FAMILY PROGRAMS

We’re here to help families stay connected to the Western Oregon University experience through events, resources, and community updates. Join us for our upcoming Family Weekend to enjoy a campus visit packed with activities, special events, and quality time with your student. You can also stay informed year-round with our Family Portal, designed to keep you updated on important dates, university news, and student life.
