Hi, Tide Day

Hi, Tide Day is an annual Student Government Association tradition designed to welcome students back to campus and foster a strong sense of community on the day after the first day of class. During the event, students and faculty can stop by one of our three locations—the Student Center Plaza, Presidential Village, or the Quad—to receive a free, exclusive Hi, Tide Day T-shirt and a frozen treat while supplies last. Each location will feature SGA representatives and interactive tabling opportunities where students can connect, ask questions, and learn more about campus involvement. Students are also encouraged to wear Hi, Tide name tags throughout the day to help spark conversations, strengthen connections, and create a welcoming atmosphere across campus. Through this tradition, the Student Government Association and the Division of Student Life aim to promote belonging, hospitality, and school spirit as the academic year begins.
