For the first time since fall 2019, the University will welcome all students’ families to campus for 2021 Family Weekend to explore campus and the Ithaca community. Some students and families will have their first reunion on campus since move-in week this coming weekend. The annual tradition gives families the opportunity to meet Cornell staff members and engage in activities around campus with their students. “I think it’s the best of both worlds having [my parents] come the week after [Family Weekend] because I can spend more time with them and still get my Halloween weekend,” she said. Social gatherings during Halloween weekend add another layer to potential sources of transmission.
