I’m excited. My parents come every year. We really enjoy campus. My mom loves walking around to see the changes on campus and my dad loves seeing the automotive area. The bookstore is always a must - lots of great food, and my parents make new friends, which is great,” said senior Kara Kennedy.

This weekend is about much more than enjoying all the amazing fun we have planned. From freshmen to seniors, students make new friends and manifest the true Bronco spirit of community and family,” said Lori Barnes.
