“With nearly 60 booths and several shows, this year’s event will be better than ever,” said BJU President Steve Pettit. “U.Day is one of the highlights of Homecoming weekend. Our faculty and staff collaborate to introduce exciting new activities each year.”

U.Day, short for University Day, features a fun, educational street fair including dozens of interactive booths sponsored by a variety of BJU’s academic programs as well as the Museum & Gallery and Answers in Genesis.

Several local representatives will be present including a Greenville County ambulance, fire truck, police cruiser, interactive ROTC Extreme Truck and the Wunderbus, a mobile picture booth van.

Attendees can enjoy face painting, balloon art, a starship video game challenge, sculpting, an instrument petting zoo, an archeology simulation, assorted reptiles and a variety of hands-on activities. Additionally, mascots and characters from The Chronicles of Narnia books will greet guests. The event will feature live music and local food trucks.
