Parents & Family Weekend

Connect. Engage.

Friday, October 4 – Sunday, October 6

Taylor University isn’t just about the four years your student spends on campus; it’s about the forty years that follow.

Parents and Family Weekend provides the opportunity for you to share in some of the experiences and discussions your son and/or daughter is having: in residence life, in extracurricular activities, in worship and in the classroom. We invite you to come CONNECT with your student and ENGAGE in the Taylor Community.

Check out some of the weekend highlights or view the full schedule of events.

Please register online between August 23rd and September 25th!
