Welcome Dads!

This past weekend was Dad’s Day Weekend here at Illinois. This is a weekend when students are invited to invite their Dads to campus for some good parent-student bonding time.

For me, both my dad and brother came to visit. They arrived on Saturday morning just in time for the Illinois vs. Northwestern Football Game. Unfortunately the Fighting Illini lost the game, but it was really fun nonetheless. During the football game, the Parent’s Association Tuition Raffle winners were announced.

After the game we toured some of the campus buildings and showed my dad some of my sister’s projects in the Architecture Annex (she is a student here at Illinois too). After eating dinner at a great restaurant in Downtown Champaign, we attended the Illini Hockey game at the Illinois Ice Arena.

Overall it was a great weekend, and I’m sure all the dads who came to visit felt so too.
