ATLANTA - Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal officially issued a proclamation yesterday declaring Sept. 2 College Colors Day, a day to help promote the school spirit among all universities and colleges. Scrappy represented Kennesaw State in the signing event at the State Capitol.
"It was an honor to meet Governor Deal," said a very chirpy Scrappy about the event. "It was great to be with my friends from the other universities in an effort to promote school spirit!"
College Colors Day is an annual celebration dedicated to promoting the traditions and spirit that make the college experience great by encouraging people across America to wear apparel of their favorite college or university throughout the day.
Additionally, College Colors Day, which coincides with "back to school" and the kick-off of intercollegiate athletics, strives to advocate higher education through increased public awareness, and celebrates the achievements of colleges and universities, acknowledging their fundamental importance.
Since its inception in 2005, College Colors Day has grown rapidly across the country. Thousands of organizations and millions of individuals participate annually by donning their team colors and sharing in the college spirit with friends and colleagues.
Friday, Sept. 2 is 2011's national College Colors Day for all schools to wear their school colors. That coincides perfectly for Kennesaw State because that is the day of volleyball's home opener against Winthrop and of soccer's "Bark and Hoot" day at the KSU Soccer Stadium, with both events starting at 7 p.m.
