Thank You for Attending Family Weekend 2024!

We hope you enjoyed a wonderful Family Weekend at Cornell University! We were pleased to welcome over 3,000 family members and guests to campus during this beautiful fall weekend in Ithaca. The crisp air, vibrant foliage, and bustling energy across campus created the perfect backdrop for reconnecting with your students and experiencing the Cornell community firsthand.

From academic open houses and the Family Celebration Lunch to spirited athletic events, sunset on the slope, and student performances at Fall Fest, we hope you had the opportunity to immerse yourself in the diverse array of activities that make Cornell such a special place. Your presence and enthusiasm contributed greatly to the success of this year's Family Weekend.

We appreciate your support of your students and the university. Your involvement enriches our community and strengthens the bonds that make Cornell a home away from home for our students.

We hope you take fond memories of your time on campus and a deeper connection to the Cornell family. Check out our Facebook page for photos and a recap of the weekend's events. Thank you for being a part of this cherished tradition—we look forward to welcoming you back to campus in the future. For those interested in joining us next year, the date for Family Weekend 2025 will be announced in late March 2025.
