Founders Day at University of Massachusetts Amherst

The university community is invited to celebrate everything that makes UMass special Tuesday, April 29, for Founders Day.

Come for the free, healthy and sustainable meal, featuring locally sourced items, provided by UMass Dining on Haigis Mall, and stay for the programming from more than 20 departments showcasing what they do best.

From scientific glass blowing, robotic dogs and tree climbing demonstrations, to a DIY Bouquet Bar with the Stockbridge Floral Design, and line dancing – this year’s event will have something for everyone at locations across campus. 

The fun doesn’t end when the sun goes down, either, as you can end your day at the Student Union with an 80’s themed outdoor screening of “Top Gun: Maverick” or play a round of Glow Golf.
