WSU hosted its annual Family Weekend through an online setting this year, with various events and activities to attend.
Previously, Family Weekend was split into Mom’s and Dad’s Weekends. The name change occurred to promote inclusivity, according to a Daily Evergreen article.
Kari Sampson, WSU director of development and student affairs, said Family Weekend was a good opportunity to connect and have conversations with Cougars from all around.
“It felt like you were in the same room with each other, even though we weren’t,” she said.
Sampson said two of the most popular events were paint night and the Chosen Coug Award ceremony.
