Family Weekend 2025

Family Weekend is a tradition at SMSU that brings parents, siblings, grandparents, and family members to campus to have fun with their student and experience campus with them.

Celebrate family with students who have loved ones far away!
We are all a part of the #MustangFamily!

7:00pm Planetarium Show

We will take a cosmic journey starting with the sky as seen from your backyard. From there, we launch from Earth into space to explore the planets of our solar system. Beyond the solar system lie the stars where we continue our journey that eventually reaches the limits of our best telescopes. Come along with us on this epic journey in time and space, followed by a Laser Light Show. (Limited seating for 60)
