Welcome Home, Lion Families!
Mark your calendars for Family Day 2026 on Saturday, November 14, at 1:30 PM.
This is more than an event, it’s a homecoming for the heart. We’re inviting you, our parents, caregivers, and family champions, to step back onto campus and experience life as your student does.
Imagine cheering alongside your Lion from the stands, sharing laughs over tailgate treats, exploring campus traditions, and seeing firsthand how Southeastern has grown.
From spirited live entertainment and delicious food to tailgating games, commemorative swag, and a big-time athletic matchup, Family Day 2026 is built to bring you closer to your student, to their Southeastern journey, and to the Lion family as a whole.
Tickets are now available. Visit our Family Day Registration Site to purchase your ticket today!
