Garnet Day
On a picturesque May afternoon, the College hosted the inaugural Garnet Day, a celebration of school spirit and community. Students, faculty and staff members filled Parrish Beach for lawn games, frozen treats, a free Swarthmore t-shirt, and an opportunity to enjoy each other’s company.
Below are photos from the inaugural Garnet Day. The plan is for future Garnet Days to be held on the first Thursday of each month.
Students enjoyed a beautiful spring day out on Parrish Beach.
Campus community members received free t-shirts to show off their school spirit.
Frozen treats, including popsicles and ice cream sandwiches, Rose Garden Circle, helped usher in warmer weather.
President Smith's new goldendoodle puppy, Maxey, was a hit with the campus community.
Lawn games, such as Spikeball and cornhole, provided a much-needed break from final exams.
Garnet Day participants were also entered into a raffle to win Swarthmore gear from the Campus & Community Store.
Going forward, Garnet Day will be held on the first Thursday of each month.
