Magic, movies, and more are on the schedule for Wittenberg’s 2020 Sibs Weekend, an annual event planned by Union Board, the Office of Student Involvement, the Department of Athletics, and the Office of Residence Life that will take place Jan. 31 through Feb. 2.

While the younger relatives and friends of Wittenberg students are always welcome on campus,

Sibs Weekend is a week-long celebration that’s jam-packed with fun events dedicated to them. All students are welcome at the programs throughout the weekend, and it is also an amazing opportunity for these young people to have a taste of college life at Wittenberg.
