Gator Days and Gator Nights

Sheila Dickison, Associate Provost

Planning for Gator Days & Gator Nights is now underway! The response from student organizations, university and department offices was overwhelming last year and resulted in over 160 events being listed on the Gator Days & Gator Nights calendar. We depend on the campus community to provide programs and activities to welcome new and returning students and look forward to continuing our university-wide collaboration on this project, sponsored by the Office of Student Services.

This year, Gator Days & Gator Nights begins on August 18th and ends October 1st. We will advertise events specifically held during the first week of fall classes, August 25th through 31st, in a special Gator Days & Gator Nights publication, and the rest of the events will be publicized on the on-line calendar.

If your office or program area wishes to have your information included in this calendar, please e-mail date, time, location, name of sponsoring organization, and contact information to: GDGN@dso.ufl.edu . Program information must be received by August 20th in order to be included in the on-line calendar.

To give you an idea of the kinds of events taking place across campus, please take a look at the Event Category List at http://www.dso.ufl.edu/preview/gator%20days/gatordays.html or contact Student Services at GDGN@dso.ufl.edu. We will be happy to assist you in any way we can. This also will help in reducing the number of similar events offered throughout Gator Days & Gator Nights.
