Join SGA for Hey Day this Wednesday

The Student Government Association’s annual Hey Day is set for Wednesday, Oct. 14. Hey Day is an Auburn tradition that dates back to the end of World War II. It started as a way for veterans returning back to school to be seen, known and appreciated on campus.

Over the past 73 years, Hey Day has become one of Auburn’s longest running traditions and has transformed into a way to promote a friendly environment on campus. Students are encouraged to wear a name tag and greet their peers with a “hey!” This year’s event features both in-person and virtual options so students, staff, alumni and friends can participate wherever they are.

Name tags will be distributed at different sites around campus from 7:45 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Free food, music and games will be on the Campus Green from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. For virtual participation, SGA will host two separate Zoom sessions featuring Auburn-themed bingo and trivia games with prizes including a chance to win an A Zone parking pass for a day or a TikTok and photoshoot with Aubie.
