Family Weekend Schedule
Family Weekend 2021 has gone virtual! On November 6th The Department of Student Life invites all students and their FIT family members, wherever they are, to join us to celebrate. Although Family Weekend will not happen in person, we hope you will still take this opportunity to spend time together to strengthen your bond as a family.
Check out the Museum at FIT for its Virtual Tours, take a virtual tour of the FIT campus, see what amazing alumni the HUE Magazine has interviewed, or simply check the Barnes and Noble website for your favorite Family swag item. Most of the events and activities listed
below will be live or prerecorded, but we encourage you to make plans with your family
to participate in the events of your choice.
We'd love to see how your family is participating in Virtual Family Weekend, so share
your photos and videos on social media with #FITFamilyWeekend. We may even feature
you!
