Family Day gives students and their families the perfect opportunity to spend quality time together. It’s also a celebration of special connections forged on campus between our students, alumni, faculty, staff, and the whole Kirksville community.
Anyone with an attachment to À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ is invited to take part in the fun, whether as an introduction or a reunion to your Truman family.
