Welcome Weekend Schedule

Welcome Weekend will also prepare you for the greater adventure that is to come: your education and experience at the University of Saint Francis. As a Catholic institution, our education focuses on the whole person—mind, body and spirit—and is applicable to all. Here, you will discover who you are, what you were created for and how you can contribute to the world.

Parents and families are welcome to join us on Thursday from the start of the day through the Matriculation Celebration. We kindly ask that parents and families say their goodbyes after the Matriculation Celebration, as the remaining events of the weekend are intended for students only.
