Parents, families, and friends from around the country are invited to join us Friday, September 25 - Sunday, September 27, as we celebrate the university’s 46th annual Family Weekend. This weekend of events will include a reception with President and Mrs. Pines, the Terp Family Festival & Tailgate, a home football game and other sporting events, academic program open houses, entertaining programs, and much more.

We know there’s a lot to take in, and we want to make sure you have all the information you need before Family Weekend registration opens. Join us for a webinar on Wednesday, July 29, at Noon ET to learn more about this year’s Family Weekend and the registration process. We’ll walk through key details and leave plenty of time to answer your questions.
