Phoenix Family Day looks different this year but, we're excited to celebrate with you digitally today.

Welcome from President Avent

Welcome to this year's Phoenix Family Day. Even in the midst of this season I'm inspired to see how well our students and University community are rising to the challenge and keeping our campus healthy. I look forward to the day of hosting you on campus again and I hope you enjoy today's digital events and activities.
