Please note: one of the articles in Campus Link refers to Family Weekend. Webster does not have a family weekend since the majority of our students are from the St. Louis area. However, parents are always welcome to attend public events on campus, especially those that spotlight students, such as athletic contests, music recitals, forensic (debate) competitions, art exhibit openings, and Conservatory performances.
