Cougar Red Fridays

Every Friday is declared Cougar Red Friday. Wearing red on Friday is more than just a tradition; it is who we are. We wear red to show our pride and passion for the University. It is our visual identity. The color unites us, to live and celebrate together, and behold our achievements as a singular legacy of pride. We encourage our campus community and those around the city to wear Red on Fridays.
