The crisp mornings and warm afternoons of the Indian Summer weekend brought out guests in shorts and sundresses, armed with their event programs heavily annotated with the activities they wanted to attend. Eager guests arrived at the registration area early Friday and Saturday. Coffee and pastries were available to fuel them for the day ahead.
Lectures are always a highlight of our family weekends.
Many professors have told us that they enjoy these opportunities to meet the parents of their current students, as well as alumni, some of whom were former students. Guests agreed that Cal has a truly outstanding faculty. On Friday evening, Cal Parents board members hosted families at an informal reception in Pauley Ballroom. The chancellor dropped in to greet everyone and encourage their full participation throughout the weekend. The Men's Octet and the Golden Overtones also were present to entertain and stir up spirit for the rally that followed in the Field House at the Recreational Sports Facility for Saturday's game, Cal v. Arizona State.
