UW Family Weekend
Friday and Saturday, November 6-7
UW Family Weekend invites families to campus to spend time with their Husky and get a taste of life at the UW.
The resources in this toolkit will allow you to promote your unit’s UW Family Weekend events and activities. Please find print signage resources below. Additional resources will continue to be added to the toolkit.
Event Signage
Please use the UW Family Weekend branded signage templates to provide directions to your building and welcome parents, families and visitors to your space or event.
If you are looking for help or printing your sign, reach out to Sign Shop or Creative Communications.
Sandwich Boards
We highly recommend placing at least one double-sided (two-panels) sandwich board sign outside main building entrances. Remember, parents and families may not be familiar with campus, so these visual wayfinding tools draw your audience to your event.
24×31-inch sandwich board panel templates
A-Frame rentals and permits
UW Facilities manages all outdoor signage and can provide more information and requirements for posting. Permits are required for sandwich boards.
Event Posters
These are great for indoor display on floor easels, or for taping on windows, doors or walls.
We recommend having at least one sign near your activation identifying the title of your event as published on the UW Family Weekend schedule of events.
18×24-inch poster templates
Foundational copy
One weekend. Endless memories.
