Members of Penn’s Class of 2019 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.
