Each year, Family Weekend brings students and families together in celebration at Oxford.

Oxford Family Weekend gives family and friends a taste of college life for their student in a weekend equal parts fun and informational. From game night, to student performances, to the Fun Run and Picnic on the Quad, families enjoy this uniquely Oxford event, which includes a chance to choose your own adventure while exploring the campus and the surrounding community.

This year, Oxford College Family Weekend is October 17-19, 2025. Most of our programming will be on Saturday, October 18, to accommodate your travels.

Similar to New Student Orientation, we will be using the Emory Welcome App as our guide for Family Weekend at Oxford College. It will include the schedule of events, resources for the weekend, and any required registration links. We can't wait to see you there!

Note: The schedule is subject to change and will be updated via the Emory Welcome App.

Schedule Overview

Registration for Family Weekend is free and required for attendees so we can plan accordingly. Please know the most important aspect of Family Weekend is that you can spend time with your student. Students are excited to show you their campus home, and we are excited to welcome you back to campus.

Register for Family Weekend, the Annual Family Picnic, and Shabbat.

As part of Oxford College Family Weekend, join the Center for Healthful Living on Saturday, October 18th, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. for a one-mile Choose Your Own Adventure Walk/Run. Participants may take part in a meditative walk with thoughtful prompts provided or run the mile at their own pace. The event concludes with refreshments before heading into a full day of activities across campus. This event is free, and registration details will be shared soon.
