Dear MSU Parents and Families,
Patricia and I are pleased to invite you to the 18th annual Parent/Family Fall Weekend celebration this October. Whether your student is a freshman, senior or anywhere in between, this event is a great way to be a part of his/her college experience.
We have carefully selected activities that allow for quality time with your son or daughter, while building your own bridge with our campus and community. You can sit in on a favorite class, enjoy a tour of the Museum of the Rockies where favorite faculty will be giving short informative lectures or stroll downtown and mingle with other families. Don your blue and gold and support the Bobcats in football and volleyball action or take a float on the Madison. There will be great food, wonderful company and something for everyone.
We know that you play a major role in the success of your student and we want you to experience firsthand our shared commitment to that success. Please join us during this fun-filled weekend. It’s a pleasure to have you as part of the MSU family.
Warm Regards,
Geoff Gamble & Patricia Gamble
