Family Weekend 2021

Family Weekend invites you to reconnect with your student, meet other 'Cane families, and interact with University faculty and staff while getting a preview of daily life on campus.

In addition to attending engaging programs, activities, and athletic events—including a Hurricanes football game, you will also have the opportunity to explore popular attractions throughout Coral Gables and the Miami area.

Everyone participating in any Family Weekend event must be registered.

Thursday, September 23 to Sunday, September 26, 2021

The complete Family Weekend schedule is available via the UMiami App. The app, which is free to download from both the App Store and on Google Play, lists the up-to-date schedule of events and other helpful resources available during the week. Once in the app, tap the person icon in the top right corner and select Family Weekend as your app experience.
