WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI!

Summer Send off Summer Send off

The University of Miami has a long tradition of welcoming new incoming and transfer students, and their families, to our ’Canes community each year through a special Summer Send-Off reception in their hometown. Every summer, University of Miami alumni and parents in cities around the country invite students, and their parents or guardians, to meet and network with local alumni, fellow first-year and transfer students, and University staff in an intimate setting before stepping foot on our campus. This year we will host 10 send-offs to congratulate and welcome our new students and their families!

Summer Send-Off ’Cane FAQs

Open All Tabs
  • What are Summer Send-Offs?

    Summer Send-Offs are informal social gatherings hosted in collaboration with the Office of Engagement and alumni or parents. They are designed exclusively for first-year and transfer students and their parents to get to know other incoming families before the semester begins. It’s a unique opportunity to have questions answered and to connect with fellow parents, alumni, and administrators who will provide you with relevant information as you prepare for your arrival at the University of Miami.

  • When is the event in my area?

    You may click on the link above which displays all participating cities that are hosting a Send-Off this summer.

  • If my city is not listed, may I attend the next closest one?

    Absolutely, as long as space is available! You are welcome to RSVP and attend one Summer Send-Off event.

  • What should I bring?

    Your smile! We look forward to greeting you.

  • What should I wear?

    Show us your best ’Cane spirit in smart casual attire (we love orange and green!).

    Incoming fall 2024 first-year students, incoming spring 2025 first-year students, and first-year transfer students are encouraged to attend and bring their parents and/or guardians.

  • Are there any parking restrictions or instructions?

    Any parking restrictions or instructions, if applicable, will be noted upon registration.

  • How long should I plan for this event?

    Summer Send-Off events typically last anywhere from 2-3 hours.

  • Will any food be provided?

    Typically, snacks and refreshments are provided by the host.
