Please join us on November 7 and 8 for FHSU Family Weekend.  There is an exciting schedule of events to help you become familiar with the Fort Hays State University campus.

The weekend begins Friday evening with several activities on campus from which to choose. On Saturday morning, visit academic departments, have a family photo taken with Victor E. Tiger, & spend time touring the dining & leisure areas, bookstore, meeting facilities & other parts of the Memorial Union. Another place you might want to visit is the Sternberg Museum of Natural History. Besides the permanent collections, there are always traveling exhibits worth seeing.

Guided tours of campus, including the residence halls, will take place at 11:15 a. m. Join us for a tailgate party at Lewis Field Stadium, where lunch will begin at 12:30 p.m. Don't miss the football game when the Tigers challenge the University of Central Missouri Mules. There are also activities on campus in the evening.

I hope you enjoy the FHSU events we have planned & will take time to explore the Hays community as well.  Looking forward to seeing you on November 7 and 8!

Sincerely yours,

Edward H. Hammond
