EVERY YEAR, WE GATHER TO CELEBRATE ONE OF OUR FINEST TRADITIONS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER: MELIORA WEEKEND. With an exciting schedule of events that includes intellectual conversations, celebrity guests, live performances, delicious food, and plenty of family fun in our popular Meliora Village, the weekend is always one to remember.

This year, we will host another impressive roster of talent. Award-winning journalist Soledad O’Brien, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ron Chernow, national political commentator Michael Steele, comedian Nasim Pedrad, and “little orchestra” Pink Martini are certain to inspire and entertain audiences.

But the true stars of Meliora Weekend are you and others like you—our loyal alumni, parents, and friends. Why not take this once-a-year opportunity to meet our faculty and learn more about their

work, to reconnect with a former roommate, to attend your class reunion, or to connect in real life with someone you only see on Facebook?

Make this the year you come back to Rochester and renew your spirit of Meliora.

Regardless of what your connection is to the University of Rochester, you will find so much here to enjoy. We hope you can join us October 4–7.
