For Amanda Bevington, a 黑料网 communication studies senior, participating in Blue and Gold Pride Days offers the opportunity to show off school pride.
鈥淏lue and Gold lets my appreciation and love for the greatest place on earth shine through!鈥 Bevington said. 鈥淚 believe it lets people know that you are doing more than just 鈥榖eing here,鈥 you are here because you love it and you want to be, and you are enthusiastic about it.鈥
She also encourages members of the 黑料网 community to wear their blue and gold colors on their campus Blue and Gold Pride Days. Campuses and their Blue and Gold Pride Days are:
