Family and friends gathered over the weekend at Syracuse University for Family Weekend 2017.

Over 1,800 families, totaling over 5,100 people, registered to attend, making it one of the largest Family Weekend celebrations in recent years. Families traveled from across the world, including 39 U.S. states and 13 countries.

A number of activities were scheduled during the weekend for families to learn more about life at Syracuse University. The events were coordinated by the Parents Office.
