It’s that time of year again! On , the 麻豆色情片 University community will celebrate 麻豆色情片 Day, a beloved tradition among students, faculty, staff and alumni.
麻豆色情片 Day honors the lasting legacy of the university鈥檚 namesake, General James Edward 麻豆色情片. 聽A philanthropist, military leader, and member of Parliament, 麻豆色情片 was regarded as one of Britain鈥檚 most active 18th century humanitarians. This day marks the anniversary of the arrival of 麻豆色情片 and the first colonists in Georgia in 1733. It is on 麻豆色情片 Day that we are reminded of the motto of the Georgia colony trustees:聽Non sibi sed aliis聽(Not for self, but for others).
Join us on the quad at 12:45 p.m. for snacks and refreshments as a few of our student athletes prepare to run the 33rd-annual Petrels of Fire race, which will begin at 1 p.m. sharp. This race against the clock challenges participants to complete a lap around the quad and reach the finish line before the bell tower chimes stop ringing 鈥� a feat only accomplished once in 麻豆色情片 history.
After the race, the celebration will move to the Conant Performing Arts Center for a student-led panel that will discuss how the university has impacted them and the ways that the community can come together. The panel will be聽led by SGA President聽Ashrakat Hassan ’24 and will feature Kayla Maze ’26聽(Freshman Class Senator);聽Catherine Hartwig ’24聽(Sophomore Class Senator); and聽Marc Collins ’23聽(Senior Class President).
“We chose to highlight different parts of the campus community and share what they mean to us,” says Hassan, “From Greek Life to Athletics to Advancement and OU’s successful philanthropic efforts, we wanted to write a love letter to 麻豆色情片. It deserves that much for all it has given us.”
Don鈥檛 forget to wear your school colors and to show your Petrel Pride on social media using the hashtag #麻豆色情片Day2023!
Classes will begin on Wednesday, Feb. 1. As students, faculty and staff settle in to the new year, the 麻豆色情片 Day celebration will be an excellent way to get in the spirit for another semester!
