Family Weekend

An annual tradition, Family Weekend provides the opportunity for you to engage in many facets of life at the College and gain a deeper understanding of the Barnard student experience. Parents, family members, and supporters of Barnard students in all class years are all warmly invited to attend.

Important details: 

• Schedule: The exciting slate of programs on Friday and Saturday includes conversations with Barnard’s president and provost, spotlight sessions with outstanding faculty, discussions on career services and student support, visits to unique spaces on campus, and opportunities to see athletics, dance, and theatre in action. On Sunday, we invite you to spend the day exploring New York City with your student. 
• Registration: All guests must register in advance to access campus and attend Family Weekend. Please submit the registration form, which was emailed to Barnard families in early October, by Tuesday, October 14 at 11:59 p.m. EDT. If you do not have the link and wish to register, please email familyweekend@barnard.edu. 
• Students: Our events are generally geared toward family members, but students are welcome to join if they wish. Please simply include them in the size of your group when you register. 
• Planning: Our registration asks you to select which events your group would like to attend to help in our planning. However, we recognize that your itinerary may change once on campus, so we do not check registration at the door for individual sessions. While we work to accommodate as many people as possible, please note that seating for each event is available on a first-come, first-served basis until capacity is reached. 
• Cost: All Family Weekend programming is offered free of charge, except for the Homecoming game and Theatre performance. We are happy to make this slate of programs accessible to as many families and supporters of current students as possible. If you are able to do so, we hope you will consider making a gift to the Barnard Annual Fund in honor of your student. 
• Accommodations: Barnard College provides reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities. If you need individual disability-related accommodations for this event in order to be able to attend, we encourage you to inform us in advance by contacting familyweekend@barnard.edu or (212) 854-8424.
