Be Part of the Tradition
GEORGIA STATE IS PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONNECTION FOR ALL STUDENTS.
Tailgates
Tailgating in the parking lots and areas around Center Parc Stadium is a great way to support the Panthers and meet friends both old and new. Check out the home football schedule for dates and the Athletics website for related policies. See you there.
Homecoming Golf Cart Parade
Georgia State hosts a unique Homecoming parade in the streets of downtown Atlanta with golf carts decorated to represent student organizations, academic programs, various campus groups, and the Panther Band leads the way. Don’t miss this signature event and help paint Atlanta Panther blue.
Panther Prowl
A large late-night event with multiple activities or performances, and prizes, Panther Prowls are coordinated by Spotlight Programs Board and are held quarterly. Past Prowls have included, but were not limited to, silent headphone parties, hypnotists, comedy shows and game shows. Bring your friends and make new ones at this fun interactive campus tradition.
A Little Good Luck
If you need some good luck, stop by Unity Plaza outside of Student Center East on the Atlanta campus to rub the nose on the bronze statue of Pounce. It’s a great spot for a selfie, too, or to meet friends in between classes.
