Fireworks and Fun on Tap for Family Weekend!

By Dan DeCaria, October 31, 2024

Dear Ithaca College Community,

We hope this message finds you well as we enter into the final stretch of the fall 2024 semester! In case you haven’t heard, we are just a couple days away from Ithaca College Family Weekend! This annual celebration during the fall semester is an amazing opportunity for our campus to come together to share the IC experience with families and supporters of our IC students. We have a packed weekend of festivities planned that are sure to create lasting memories through fun activities, exploration, and quality time together.

Family Weekend is set to take place Friday, November 1, through Sunday, November 3. We invite you to visit the Family Weekend website for a full schedule of events planned for the weekend. Included amongst the celebrations are: athletics events, student performances, interactive activities, social receptions, and an exciting fireworks display to cap the action on Saturday, November 2, at 9:15 p.m.

Students, if you have family members or other supporters planning to visit campus this weekend, please encourage them to check-in so that they can receive a welcome packet at either our Welcome Reception from 4:00-7:00 p.m. on Friday, November 1, or our Saturday Arrival Check-In from 9:30-10:30 a.m. the following morning. Both check-ins will take place at the Emerson Suites inside the Campus Center.

Please visit our Family Weekend FAQs page for additional details. Please reach out to families@ithaca.edu if you have any questions.

We cannot wait to celebrate this special occasion this weekend!

Warm regards,

Caryanne Keenan
