�鶹ӰԺ has established a new �鶹ӰԺ State tradition called Blue and Gold Friday. �鶹ӰԺ State faculty, staff, students and alumni are encouraged to wear the university’s blue and gold colors every Friday to promote �鶹ӰԺ State spirit and pride.

“We are one university family, and one of the best ways to bring that to life is by wearing blue and gold,” said �鶹ӰԺ State President Beverly Warren. “Everyone can see and feel the school spirit thriving on campus as we begin this new school year, and I believe this new Friday tradition will be something we can all look forward to each week as a way to unite us.”

“Blue and Gold Friday promotes the traditions and spirit that embody the college experience,” said Timeka Rashid, associate dean of students and director of the �鶹ӰԺ Student Center and Center for Student involvement at �鶹ӰԺ State. “Whether you are a student, alumni, faculty, staff or member of the community, this is a fun way to bring the �鶹ӰԺ State family together, create unity and show your �鶹ӰԺ State pride.” 

�鶹ӰԺ State is encouraging social media users to share photos of themselves wearing blue and gold and use #BlueAndGoldFriday to increase awareness and conversations about �鶹ӰԺ State Blue and Gold Friday. Also, look for special discounts on blue and gold merchandise in the University Bookstore.

“Challenge your friends, professors and colleagues to participate and make �鶹ӰԺ State pride and school spirit ‘what you do,’” Rashid said.

The Blue and Gold Friday tradition at �鶹ӰԺ State begins Aug. 29, which also is nationwide, and will continue every Friday.
