Family Weekend Schedule
We can't wait to welcome you to campus for Family Weekend, October 25-27, 2024! We are working on putting together a great slate of events. A full schedule of events will be available in late August. Our Schedule Overview below is a snapshot of the weekend to give you an idea of the types of events and activities you can expect and assist you in planning your visit. The schedule is subject to change, and events will continue to be added.
We have a rich array of activities to enjoy. Pick and choose the activities that interest you. Some events require advance registration and additional fees. Many events included in the Family Weekend registration fee require a Family Weekend name badge for admittance; a name badge will be provided to each registered family member and your student. When deciding on your schedule, remember that your Cornell student may not be available for the entire weekend due to academic and co-curricular commitments.
Please note that all events are first-come, first-served unless you have purchased a specific ticket for an event. Your Family Weekend name badge (received at check-in) will be required to access any event. Students will also have a name badge to attend events.
