Family Weekend

A Cornell Family Tradition

Thank You for Joining Us for Family Weekend 2026!

Thank you to the families and supporters who joined us on the Hill for Family Weekend 2026, September 25-27. We loved welcoming you back to campus and seeing families spending time with their students, exploring Cornell, and connecting with the people and places that are part of their student’s experience.

Family Weekend is a chance to experience Cornell alongside your student—from college and school programs and campus activities to favorite Cornell traditions and simply spending time together. Whether this was your first Family Weekend or one of many visits to Ithaca, we hope the weekend gave you an opportunity to make new memories, learn more about your student’s Cornell experience, and feel even more connected to the Big Red community.

We are grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make Family Weekend 2026 such a special Cornell family tradition.

Family Weekend 2027

We look forward to welcoming Cornell families back to campus in 2027. Family Weekend 2027 dates will be announced in early 2027. Please check back here for updates and additional information as it becomes available.
