Family Weekend
Join Us October 18-19
We invite you to join us for Family Weekend, October 18-19, 2024! This event is designed to bring you closer to your student's Kimball Union experience and explore what the campus and community have to offer. Family weekend begins on Friday at 8 a.m. and runs to approximately 8 p.m. On Saturday, programming begins at 8 a.m. and runs until a student's last commitment. Register today!
Featured Event: The College Conversation
1 p.m.
Hayes Auditorium, Fitch Math & Science Center
Join Jacques Steinberg, New York Times best-selling author of “The College Conversation," for a candid discussion of practical strategies for parents to support their children in mapping a path through the college application process. Topics will include: helping your child explore the question of “Who am I?” a critical, early step in the college process; establishing boundaries and guardrails between the respective roles of applicants, parents (and counselors, too); researching and assembling a college list; understanding testing, essays, recommendations, and other components of the college application, and an introduction to the holistic admissions review process. Jacques will be joined by Gunnar Olson, KUA’s veteran director of college advising, who will discuss the targeted and tailored supports that he and colleagues provide to families throughout the application process. Come with questions!
