As an only child in her first year of college, Kelly Collins is counting on it to bridge her time away from home. "I miss (my parents)," she said. "I haven't seen them since they dropped me off for winter quarter."

Collins, a sport management major, plans to fill the weekend's agenda with sporting events. And the choices -- from basketball to hockey to wrestling match-ups -- are plentiful.

"Last quarter, since it was my first time away from home, (my parents) came twice," Collins said. "This quarter, they are just coming for Parents Weekend because there is a lot more to do on campus."
