Every fall we look forward to the events that bring our community together. Green and Gold Days bring staff, students and faculty together for a fun celebration of school spirit, while Alumni Weekend gives grads the chance to visit their old stomping ground and reconnect with friends and mentors.
After a few years of gathering virtually, this fall we’re bringing everyone together in person— really, everyone: alumni, students, faculty, staff, community members, family and friends — to celebrate U of A Days!
U of A Days unites the fall events that celebrate our connection with the Alberta community and is an invitation for everyone to learn about the people, places and milestones that make this university great.
Here are a few of the many ways to share the celebration.
Green + Gold Day
A sea of green and gold, on and off campus! Show off our colours and soak up the energy of our school spirit day.
Family Fun Day
Spend a day packed with family fun — games, scavenger hunt, performances and a picnic lunch.
