Marion Military Institute (MMI) is gearing up to host its Family Weekend 2023 on October 6th and 7th. The institute extends a warm invitation to the families of cadets to join in a weekend filled with activities, bonding, and a glimpse into the life of an MMI cadet.
The two-day event will kick off with Check-In and Registration at 9:00 am on both days at the QM Student Center. Families can look forward to a packed schedule, including guided tours, athletic events, and opportunities to meet the faculty. The weekend will conclude with the lowering of the colors around 3:00 pm on Saturday, after which cadets are free to spend the remainder of the weekend with their families.
For those planning to attend, here are some key details: Arrival & Check-In: Upon reaching the campus, guests are required to check in at the QM Student Center. They will receive information packets, schedules, and other essential details at this point.
