October 2-4, 2020
Each fall, we celebrate being a Hurricane by welcoming parents, siblings, and loved ones to discover more about your student's life here at Georgia Southwestern. As part of the Hurricane family, we invite you to experience everything our campus and community has to offer, from athletics and the arts to trolley rides and recreation. We also invite you to explore the Americus and Sumter County area together as we have many unique shops and restaurants, in addition to two state parks. Family Weekend will culminate at the end of GSW’s Blue & Gold Week, a fall spirit week held September 28 – October 4.
As we prepare for Family Weekend, we are asking each family to register so we can plan accordingly to accommodate for social distancing at each of the events. The Trolley Tours and Paint Party are based on a first-come, first-served basis as seating is limited so be sure to sign up ahead. Pre-orders for the Family Weekend t-shirts have ended. View the full schedule below or download a PDF version here.
Note: GSW’s social distancing and face covering requirements will be observed at all events. All visitors must wear an appropriate face covering inside all University buildings and where social distancing cannot be maintained.
