Date Change Information


We recognize that changing dates is always difficult. We have made the difficult decision to hold Family Day 2024 on Saturday, Oct. 19. Family Day will consist of a State of the University address by President Stephenson, informational panels and Solaris’ birthday party.

We understand that some families may already be planning to be in Lakeland on Saturday, Oct. 12 and that these plans can be hard to change. Student Affairs will offer programs for these families through the day on Oct. 12. These programs will include a disc golf challenge at our Florida Poly Pines Disc Golf Course and a special family meal in the dining hall.

We apologize for the need to move Family Day to Oct. 19, and greatly appreciate your support with this change.

Questions regarding Family Day can be directed to Student Affairs at StudentAffairs@floridapoly.edu or 863-874-8640.
