Family Weekend is a Michigan Tech tradition held each fall in October. It's a weekend for parents and families to come and visit their students, explore campus, and see the local sights.
Fall is coming and Michigan Tech is looking forward to celebrating events in a safe and healthy way. With that in mind, we are planning Family Weekend for Friday and Saturday, October 7 and 8, in accordance with COVID guidelines at that time.
Join us this year for many outdoor, athletic, visual arts, community, and self-guided events and activities.
