Picnic Day organizers are once again encouraging departments and department-affiliated student organizations to participate in this year’s big event — the university’s annual open house. The application deadline is 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7. Information is available on the Applications and Forms page.

Applications also are being accepted for animal events, entertainment, Children’s Discovery Fair and Student Organization Fair, as well as the parade.

The 106th Picnic Day — with the theme “Envisioning Tomorrow” — will be held Saturday, April 18.
