MTSU Family Weekend is set for Oct. 28-29

MURFREESBORO — For this year’s MTSU Family Weekend, Oct. 28-29, participants can “mix-and-match their favorite events to make their own personalized experience,” said Mark Murphy, interim coordinator of New Student and Family Programs.

Family Weekend will kick off Friday, Oct. 28, at 7 p.m. with a volleyball game between the 2010 Sun Belt Conference champion Blue Raiders and North Texas in Alumni Memorial Gym. It will end with the Saturday, Oct. 29, 7:30 p.m. presentation of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” in Boutwell Dramatic Arts Building’s Tucker Theatre.

In between, there will be plenty of food (tailgating and an all-you-can-eat Cajun feast) and fun leading to the 6:30 p.m. Sun Belt football game between MTSU and the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns in Floyd Stadium.

Parents and families are encouraged to visit their students and participate in the various campus events and activities throughout the weekend, Murphy said.
