Spring Gator Day is Monday, April 7, 2025

Gator Day is a fall and spring tradition at Allegheny; in lieu of classes, students attend sessions designed to promote their development and maximize their Allegheny experience. Fall Gator Day is focused on leadership development, and Spring Gator Day is focused on academic pathways. A portion of each Gator Day will also be dedicated to promoting recreation and wellness activities.
