Hey Day 2026

April 30, 2026

Members of Penn’s Class of 2027 marched with canes along Locust Walk, wearing red shirts and faux-straw hats, in a tradition that is unique to Penn.  President J. Larry Jameson greeted the students at College Green officially pronouncing them seniors.  Hey Day marks the moment when juniors “move up,” becoming seniors, following the last day of spring classes.
