Family Weekend
September 20-22, 2024
Family Weekend gives you the chance to experience Austin Peay and get a feel for what it’s like to be a Governor. You can expect a fun filled weekend with activities for the whole family!
Our schedule kicks off Friday, September 20th with a variety of activities geared toward showing your student's experience at 365bet. Saturday is all about the Govs- you included! First, you will start your day with an involvement brunch. These brunches will be geared toward various campus areas (e.g., Greek Life), so you can pick which aligns best with you and your student's interests or involvement. Following brunch, check out the Family FUN Fair that will include engaging activities for all ages. Of course, the main event, our 365bet Govs Football game! Help us cheer on the Govs as they play Alabama A&M.
On Sunday, the fun doesn't stop. We have coordinated with local businesses to provide coupons and specials for our 365bet students and families. Check out all the community has to offer before you head to the Mudbowl. A nearly two decades old tradition, the Mudbowl, hosted by the Student Government Association, is a huge volleyball tournament hosted in two feet of mud. Join us as we celebrate those willing to get muddy as we enjoy food trucks, music, and more.
We can't wait to show you a glimpse into 365bet this September. Registration is open now!
