University Day is a campus-wide beautification event that takes place each spring. Hundreds of students, staff and faculty gather together to plant flowers, pick up trash, spread bark dust, play games and generally show that they care about campus. Community members are also invited to join. The tradition dates back to 1905 as part of Junior Weekend, a spirited events to prepare the University grounds for commencement ceremonies. Thought University Day has evolved since then, out roots still lie in campus spirit and community service.
