2020 FAMILY WEEKEND
IS VIRTUAL
The University of St. Thomas will host virtual experiences for families and provide an inclusive, on-campus experience for students. We can’t wait to see you for our 2020 Virtual Family Weekend! ASYNCHRONOUS PROGRAMMING
TOMMIE VOLUNTEER TOGETHER
TOMMIES GATHERING IN THE KITCHEN
Recipes are about more than just mixing ingredients in a bowl. They are traditions handed down over generations. Share your favorite recipe with the St. Thomas community. These recipes will be shared on social media so we can gather in the kitchen. https://link.stthomas.edu/Tommiesgatheringinthekitchen
DOES YOUR PET HAVE TOMMIE SPIRIT
St Thomas’ commitment to the common good inspires many to volunteer in their local communities. We encourage your family to consider participating in one of these DIY volunteer projects from home as a family or over zoom. Send us a picture of your final project at commongood@stthomas.edu
October 5-9 SIDEWALK SYMPOSIUM
OCTOBER 5-9 SIDEWALK SYMPOSIUM Hosted by the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, the 2nd Annual Sidewalk Symposium is a unique way to experience student research!

Keep an eye on the pavement as their art crops up on campus throughout the week of Monday, October 5-Friday, October 9. Videos and images will be shared on stthomas.edu/families.
Send in photos of your pets in their best Tommie Spirit to stuaffairs@stthomas.edu by October 3 for a feature on Social Media for Homecoming Week!
