University Weekend is always so much fun! It's one of my favorite times to come back to campus, see how Stockton has grown, reconnect with old friends, and make new memories. With so much to do throughout the weekend, it's the perfect opportunity to celebrate and spend time with the entire Stockton community.

University Weekend has always been one of my favorite parts of the fall semester. It's the perfect way to experience Stockton spirit, from the Golf Cart Osprey Parade and kayaking on Lake Fred to exploring local vendors and, of course, grabbing a free T-shirt! Whether you're a student, alum, faculty member, parent, or friend, University Weekend brings the entire Osprey community together to connect, celebrate, and make lasting memories.

For me, University Weekend is a yearly tradition. Stockton is a place that both my husband, Nick, and I proudly call home. Every year, we return to reconnect with fellow alumni, reminisce about our favorite memories, and see what's new on campus. University Weekend is more than a homecoming. It's a celebration of everything that makes Stockton special. From catching up with friends to enjoying local alumni-owned breweries at Osprey on Tap, it's a weekend we never want to miss.

University Weekend has been one of my favorite Stockton traditions. Since my freshman year, I've had the chance to meet alumni whose stories and advice have shown me that being an Osprey is a lifelong connection. One of my favorite memories was sharing the weekend with my parents, making the experience even more meaningful. Seeing alumni return to reconnect, support students, and celebrate Stockton reminds me what makes this community so special. University Weekend truly brings Ospreys together and always leaves me proud to be an Osprey.

It's a tradition I've looked forward to every year and one that always reminds me what makes Stockton so special.

October at Stockton always means one thing: University Weekend. It's a weekend full of entertainment, connection, and celebrating everything that makes Stockton special.

For new students especially, it's a wonderful opportunity to feel at home, create new memories, and discover what makes Stockton so unique.

University Weekend is one of my favorite times of the year because it showcases everything that makes the Stockton community so special.
