Announcements

MOUNTAIN DAY????  Listen for the bells to ring out!!

Mountain Day HIKES - Spots still open for Stone hill hikes


This year, Mountain Day will be running 49 hikes from on-campus to nearby
locations to enjoy the wonderful fall foliage! You will need to sign up
ahead of time for a hike this year. We ask that you sign up for just one
trip to ensure room for everyone. You must be enrolled on-campus to
participate in official hikes.


On Mountain Day, you’ll meet your hike group in Frosh Quad and leave from
there! Please remember to arrive on time, wear a mask, bring water, and
bring good shoes for walking/hiking. You’ll receive an email with more
specifics about your hike and what you need to bring.


Sign up to join a Mountain Day hike here!
