Family Weekend on Bison Hill

Family Weekend (which coincides with The Weekend and held in mid-late October of each year) gives parents and other family members the opportunity to visit with their student(s) and get a glimpse of how his or her semester is going.  Family activities are merged with more traditional Homecoming activities that bring current and past students together.  The campus is full of life, festivities, celebration, energy and a great representation of all things OBU!

This is a perfect time in the semester for students and parents to re-unite on Bison Hill. During the first weeks of the academic new students form friendships and adjust to college life, while returning students pick up where they left off at the end of their last semester.

In addition to their coursework students are participating in a variety of activities, including campus concerts, intramural sports, theatre productions, Bible studies, local ministry projects and student organizations. A lot has happened in their lives since August and this is a wonderful opportunity for parents to get an inside glimpse of their student's college journey!

Make plans to join us October 17-19, 2024 for The Weekend!  It is a great time for alumni, families, students and the OBU community to celebrate and connect!
