PICNIC DAY PLEDGE

In a manner reﬂective of Aggie Pride, I pledge to:

• Conduct myself responsible at Picnic Day 2024.

• Act and speak in ways that promote a welcoming

environment and encourage feelings of respect for differences

among people, culture, age groups, identities, etc.

• Step up and speak out in any situation that could potentially

cause harm to another person or myself.

• Follow all Yolo County Public Health and Campus Ready

guidelines

• Make safe and healthy decisions.

Mina Sarmah

Picnic Day Vice Chair

Message from the ChancellorMessage from Parade Marshal

I love this year’s theme “Picnic Palooza!” This theme that sparks joy and

laughter represents my experience with the students who plan Picnic

Day. It demonstrates how the students (and hopefully myself) work

hard and play hard to enjoy the fruits of their labor. As Bradford said,

“one major step of that journey is enjoying the process as we create

our reality.” I love this because one of the things that I try to remember

and remind others to do is “Enjoy the Journey.” The journey of growth,

learning, and empowerment that happens as a college student is so

magical and an important time in life. Really taking it in and being

present is so valuable.

Working with students during my 20+ years in Student Affairs at UC

Davis has been an honor and privilege. It means so much to me to be

selected as this year’s Picnic Day Parade Marshall!

Thanks,

Sheri Atkinson

Welcome to Picnic Day 2024!

Today, UC Davis opens its doors wide to showcase our world class research, our experts

and our unique programs. There’s a broad array of activities to enjoy and places to visit,

from hands-on experiences with animals and plants, crafts workshops, fashion show, our

dazzling chemistry demonstration and so much more.

Picnic Day 2024 is about celebration and community as we gather under the theme of

“Picnic Palooza.” You and your families will feel the energy that sparks UC Davis as a

top-ranked public university and a place that thrives with friendship. We hope Picnic Day

inspires the next generation of Aggies!

2024 also marks a special milestone for UC Davis. Robert Arneson’s iconic Egghead

sculptures were installed on campus 30 years ago. We’re spending the year honoring

these beloved works and Arneson’s legacy as a UC Davis art professor. Take this Picnic

Day to visit the Eggheads around campus and look for a new line of Egghead-themed

apparel and merchandise to sport your Aggie pride.

Picnic Day is among the largest student-run events in the United States, so LeShelle and I

thank the students and volunteers for making today’s event possible. We also appreciate

the bond UC Davis has with the entire community, as we continue this deﬁnitive Davis

tradition in its 110th year. Thank you for participating and embracing all that Picnic Day

2024 has to offer.

Gary S. May

Chancellor

Message from the UC Davis & City of Davis police departments

UC Davis community and visitors,

Welcome to the 110th UC Davis Picnic Day, “Picnic Palooza”. We are pleased you could join us for our annual open house and hope you experience all

that the campus and City of Davis have to offer. As a much revered tradition since1909, we aspire for everyone to have a safe and enjoyable visit to our

campus and town.

As a reminder, UC Davis is a smoke-free and zero-tolerance campus. Alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and all other drugs are prohibited at all times. It is

important to us that Picnic Day remains a community and family-friendly event. Your safety and campus security are our utmost priorities. As we enjoy this

event it’s also good to remember that the same laws apply as any other day: you must be 21 years of age to carry or possess alcohol and open contain-

ers are not allowed on any streets or sidewalks, including at many public parks and open spaces. The Davis police and campus police will be enforcing

alcohol, party, and noise prohibition ordinances, and many ﬁnes are doubled in an effort to keep everyone safe. Please celebrate responsibly!

We encourage all residents and visitors to take the Picnic Day pledge and conduct themselves responsibly during Picnic Day 110 to enjoy the palooza!

Other helpful tips:

• Remember to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated

• Never leave your valuables unattended

• Call 9-1-1 in case of an emergency

Safety is our number one priority and together, we can preserve Picnic Day for future generations of Davis students, faculty, staff, alumni, and visitors.

When the campus activities end, please head to downtown Davis to enjoy some of the great restaurants or reminisce about your local favorites. Please

help us keep Picnic Day 2024, safe, fun, and memorable for everyone.
