Each year on the Friday before Labor Day, college fans across the U.S. show their spirit and school pride by celebrating College Colors Day.

All members of the Emory community — students, parents, alumni, faculty, staff and friends —are invited to join the fun leading up to the big day on Friday, Aug. 30. Here’s how you can participate:

  • Through Sept. 5: Use the College Colors Day promo code Spirit24 to receive a 10% discount* for in-store and online purchases of select items at the Emory Bookstore on the Atlanta campus and Gilbert Bookstore on the Oxford College campus.
  • Aug. 26-Aug. 30: Submit a photo (past or present) of yourself wearing Emory’s colors to the university’s Instagram account via direct message. Then watch to see if your photo is shared on Emory’s social media channels. Three people who submit photos will win a prize from the Emory Bookstore.
  • Aug. 30: It’s College Colors Day!
    • Wear your favorite Emory University and Oxford College gear and be sure to use the hashtag #Emoryspirit on social media.
    • Use the special College Colors Day virtual background for your Zoom meetings.
    • Attend the volleyball game! Emory’s team takes on Greensboro College at 7 p.m. for the season opener in the WoodPEC Arena. Wear your Emory colors to cheer for the Eagles and remember: admission to Emory athletics events is always free.
