October 12-14
University Campus, Biddeford


Greetings Family and Friends!

What better way to start the school year than with a weekend packed with fun and events for the whole family? The Division of Student Affairs invites your family to take part in the Annual Family and Friends Weekend, October 12-14, 2007.

This annual University tradition is designed to allow families to come back a month after the school year starts in order to see campus in full swing.  At Family and Friends Weekend you will find something to satisfy everyone!  This weekend provides a great opportunity for us to share the sights of our unique campus along the Saco River and Atlantic Ocean.  We encourage you to register in advance, and if you choose to participate in the lobster feast, pre-registration is required.

Please join your student and us to enjoy this beautiful fall weekend at the University of New England!

We look forward to seeing you!
