Stunning fall foliage offered the perfect backdrop to yet another fun-filled Family Weekend this year. The annual gathering, which took place from Oct. 16-18, was the perfect opportunity for loved ones and see first-hand what students have been up to so far this academic year.

Dozens of classes were open, special speakers engaged in conversation, and scholars from the College’s summer research programs and other students presented their research and creative work. There were a variety of dramatic, musical and comedy performances as well, while athletes competed in front of passionate fans in numerous sports. 

And there was plenty of seasonal outdoor fun, too. Crowds flocked to the Brown Family Environmental Center for its Fall Harvest Festival and to the Kenyon Farm for its campfire and pick-your-own pumpkin patch.

For a single weekend, Middle Path became the perfect place for families to reconnect, share a few hugs, and enjoy campus life together.
