Surrounded by the colorful foliage characteristic of a New England autumn, hundreds of students and their loved ones reunited on campus for a weekend of Holy Cross activities during Family Weekend 2017. The three-day affair featured tailgating before watching Holy Cross beat Georgetown 24-10 on the football field; a discussion with Rev. Philip L. Boroughs, president, about the College and current initiatives; performances by the College Choir and Chamber Orchestra, both Jazz and Dance Ensemble, and a cappella groups; and pumpkin painting, corn hole, and inflatable games on the Hogan Oval.

Thanks to the Office of Student Involvement, we have another successful Family Weekend in the books!
