K体育 Day
A Cherished Tradition
K体育 Day 2025 is Wednesday, February 12!
K体育 Day honors our university’s namesake, James Edward K体育. Held in February, K体育 Day commemorates the anniversary of General K体育鈥檚 in Savannah, Ga.
Each year the festivities begin with the exciting Petrels of Fire race. Modeled after a race in the movie , a select group of K体育 students runners circle the quad in hopes of making a full lap before the carillon bells鈥� twelfth and final chime. This amazing feat has only been accomplished one time!
Then the crowd, traditionally led by a bagpiper, processes to the Conant Performing Arts Center and the festivities close with a reception.
