Opening Remarks from President White
Project work starts at 8:45 a.m., ending at 3 p.m

The University of Idaho is well-known for its lush, inviting landscape, one of the many attractive qualities that stand out to potential students and their parents, alumni coming home, friends and visitors. We at the University of Idaho pride ourselves on a well-maintained campus that is welcoming and full of life.

This spring, students, faculty and staff of the University of Idaho and the surrounding community have an opportunity to take part in keeping the campus vibrant by taking part in Campus Day, a tradition event that was initially proposed at Idaho in 1910. As they did so many years ago, students, faculty, staff and the community will gather together Tuesday, April 22nd, to participate in projects that beautify the campus we call home.

Campus Day 2008 is scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. at the Common's Plaza. A short ceremony will take place featuring University of Idaho President Tim White who will be giving remarks concerning the tradition of Campus Day and its importance. The event, will run until 3 PM, weather depending.

Participants may take part in one of several outdoor projects, or work within your own department or building cleaning and organizing your own work space or that neglected closet, office, or shelf space that needs your expert touch. These are great jobs in case the weather turns nasty on us. A volunteer check-in table will be set up on the Commons Plaza to assist with coordination of Campus Day projects.
