Activities begin Friday with registration from 5 to 7 p.m. in Thompson Student Union Ingman Room followed by a classic game of bingo with an array of prizes and a full ice cream sundae bar. Families can end their night in Glass Bowl Stadium with a special Halloween edition of Flicks on the Field, a double feature of “Hocus Pocus” and “Hocus Pocus 2.”
“The Division of Student Affairs has been working diligently to build up our efforts when it comes to engaging and communicating with the parents of our Rockets,” said Sammy Spann, vice president for student affairs and dean of students. “We are thrilled to welcome the mothers and motherly figures in our student’s lives to campus for a weekend full of celebration.
