Eagles gather for 鈥楥elebrate Together鈥� on the Armstrong Campus聽
On Oct. 20, nearly 2,000 people showed up for Celebrate Together, a festival celebrating the 妻友社区 community on the Armstrong Campus in Savannah.
Students, faculty, staff, alumni and members of the local community filled Residential Plaza for a perfect, fall day of fun. On site were 114 vendor booths that showcased departmental and student organizations, as well as local businesses, who handed out free swag, snacks and T-shirts.
鈥淭he event was a tremendous success,鈥� said event chair and assistant director of special events and protocol Amanda Heinz. 鈥淕eorgia Southern faculty, staff, alumni and students came together to engage with one another, learn more about the various aspects of campus life offered at the Armstrong Campus, and to enjoy a day that is all about fostering community and connection across campus.鈥�
Georgia Southern鈥檚 mascot GUS and bald eagle Freedom also entertained the crowd, who enjoyed free hot dogs and drinks, along with a rock climbing wall, foam pit, archery tag, animals from Georgia Southern鈥檚 Center for Wildlife Education and a live DJ.
In a fundraiser for the Armstrong Commitment Fund, President Kyle Marrero and other University leaders braved the dunk tank, as they were plunged into the cold-water temperatures after rounds of shots hit the bull鈥檚-eye mark.
