Family Weekend at the University of Miami offered a chance for students to share the experience of college with their families. Over 1,900 families with more than 6,000 family members participated in the festivities throughout the three days.

Through socials, tours, lectures, a pep rally, and even a home football game during the weekend, families were able to understand what life is like as a student at the U.
