Friday, September 27: Kickoff with Community Service
The weekend kicks off with the Panther Community Service Plunge, where you can give back to the community alongside fellow families and students. It’s a great way to get involved and start the weekend on a positive note! The sense of community that defines Georgia State is on full display as we come together to serve and uplift those around us. This year’s on-campus project in Atlanta serves children experiencing food insecurity. Volunteers will work in teams to make and package "snack packs" for children. These items will then be distributed to local elementary schools and afterschool programs. Our goal is to serve 3,000 children through this project!
Saturday, September 28: Tailgates and Football Rivalry
Saturday is the highlight of Family Weekend, packed with fun and excitement centered around Georgia State’s biggest football rivalry! Our Panther pride will be on full display as Georgia State takes on rival GSU, Georgia Southern University. Tickets include access to a Family Weekend tailgate, complete with a BBQ buffet, games, and exclusive Family Weekend t-shirt and swag. Don’t forget to bring cash or card for the cash bars available during the event. Once the tailgate wraps up, it’s time to head into the stadium to cheer our Panthers on to victory. This game is always one of the most anticipated matchups of the season!
Sunday, September 29: Relax and Explore Atlanta
After an exciting Saturday, Sunday is a free day for families to spend quality time together. Whether you want to explore the vibrant city of Atlanta or take it easy and enjoy the beautiful Georgia State campus, this day is for you. We’ll provide a list of suggested activities in your Family Weekend pamphlet to help you plan the perfect day.
We look forward to seeing you at Georgia State’s Family Weekend for a time filled with fun, football and family!
