By Rebecca Kirkman on August 28, 2019
You survived the first week of the fall term—now it’s time to relax and hang out with friends new and old over Labor Day weekend.
With more than 15 events happening on campus throughout the long weekend, there’s no reason to leave. The Office of Student Activities has planned four days full of activities for the campus community, from soaking up the end-of-summer sun (hello, Hammock Hangout) to showing Tiger pride at athletic events and viewing parties.
We’ve highlighted nine can’t-miss events happening this weekend. Download the TU Events app or visit the master events calendar for even more.
