Hey Day History

Hey Day has represented the official passage of the junior class to senior status and is characterized by thousands of marching students parading around campus and wearing red T-shirts, carrying canes, and biting into fake straw hats.

The official ceremony is scheduled for the last day of school Friday, April 24th, 2009. Let your professor know if you have class that day.

First, there will be a FREE Junior Class Picnic beginning at 12 PM where you can eat and pickup your hats and canes. Join our entire class for music, food, and good times. Food service will last until 3 PM.

The Class Procession will commence at approximately 3:15 PM from 39th and Locust, ending at the steps of College Hall at 4 PM where we will be addressed by President Amy Gutmann and declared Seniors!

  • Hey Day activities do not supersede any academic commitments
  • No containers or bags of any kind will be allowed during the picnic or the class procession across campus
  • Your PennCard is required to access the picnic and participate in the procession
