Family Weekend 2026
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 & SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26
Family Weekend is your chance to experience Rhodes the way your student does. Spend time on campus meeting the faculty and staff who help shape their college experience, sit in on a class, explore academic and extracurricular opportunities, share a meal together, cheer on the Lynx at an athletic competition, and enjoy some of Rhodes' favorite traditions. Whether this is your first time visiting campus or you are a seasoned Rhodes family, the weekend offers a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with your student, meet other families, and get a deeper appreciation for the vibrant community they call home. While we are still putting the finishing touches on the full schedule, here is a quick look at some of what is in store for Family Weekend 2026!
