Hey Day 2015

April 30, 2015

Celebrating the 100th Hey Day on April 30, members of Penn’s Class of 2016 marched with canes along Locust Walk, wearing red shirts and flat-brimmed, faux-straw hats. Hey Day, a tradition that is unique to Penn, marks the moment when juniors “move up” to seniors, following the last day of classes. Each year, the event begins with a class picnic and continues with a procession through campus, which stops at the steps of College Hall. There, Penn President Amy Gutmann greets the students and delivers a three-question quiz.
