Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø Carnival Arcade logo.

Spring Carnival returned to Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø with the theme "Arcade: Let the Games Begin," this past weekend. The Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø community leveled up in favorite events like Douse-a-Dean (which supports Special Olympics of Pennsylvania), Mobot, Booth and Buggy. The 2024 Tartans on the Rise(opens in new window) honorees received their official recognition over the weekend. A doggie costume contest captured the hearts of Carnival-goers. Bill Nye stopped by campus to speak and meet the Iris lunar rover team(opens in new window).

The following 2024 Spring Carnival photos sweep the leaderboards with ever-increasing scores of fun.

The Spring Carnival 2024 logo (at right) was designed by Airla Fan (CFA 2027).
