Annual Founders Day Campus Cookout


                         

Celebrate Founders Day! Join us from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Haigis for a FREE Campus Cookout. Our award-winning UMass Dining is preparing a healthy and sustainable meal featuring locally sourced items. Enjoy lawn games, live music performances, and more. Visit the UMass Athletics tent, stop by the photo booth, wear your best school gear, and show your UMass pride.

This event is being promoted as part of a series of Inauguration Weekend/Founders Day activities highlighting campus points of pride and building community. 

Founders Day is an annual opportunity to reflect on the rich and storied history of UMass Amherst, take pride in its present standing, and look toward its future. In combination with the Inauguration of Chancellor Javier Reyes, this year’s festivities will be particularly impactful.
