University Day is a campus-wide beautification event that takes place each spring. Hundreds of students, staff and faculty gather together to plant flowers, spread bark dust, play games and generally show that we care about campus. We also invite community members to join us. The tradition dates back to 1905 as part of Junior Weekend, a spirited event to prepare the university grounds for commencement ceremonies. Though University Day has evolved since then, our roots still lie in campus spirit and community service.

So join us on Thursday, May 15 from 8:30am to 4:00pm. Sign up at the booth on the Collier Lawn at 13th and University. The day will include a student group show and tell, afternoon entertainment, and FREE t-shirts will be given to all those who volunteer for at least an hour!
