Dating all the way back to World War II, Auburn University's student body and members of the Student Government Association pushed for a day that would unite the Auburn Family and promote a friendly atmosphere known as HEY DAY. Each year we carry on this tradition of handing out name tags and encouraging students, faculty, and the rest of the Auburn Family to greet one another with the Auburn Spirit in an effort to bring all those part of Auburn closer together. HEY DAY has become one of Auburn University's longest and most cherished traditions and is a day the student body has grown to love and look forward to each year.

I wouldn't mind one bit if this tradition went the way of Colonel Reb.

Technically you're right. The main area is the green space but there's plenty of Hey Day action on Haley concourse.

ETA: Best name I've seen so far today is "Hey my name is NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS"

It's just as bad on the concourse, which is much more of a pain to avoid than the green space.

Agreed. It's not difficult to avoid the Green Space. The concourse is a whole other monster.

They're actually trying to give people name tags pretty much everywhere on campus. That's why I have my headphones in today.
