Family Weekend

Family Weekend is a tradition that has existed at Texas A&M University since 1919. Texas A&M prides itself on making its visitors feel welcome. The university has given parents and guests a special time to feel this warm greeting. Family Weekend has become our official “HOWDY!” Held by the Texas A&M Foundation, the Family Weekend endowment is a permanent funding source that will enhance programs and events associated with Family Weekend.
