Friday night (blue & gold) lights ✨ 💙 🏈

Students cheered on their fellow URochester Yellowjackets at the Blue & Gold tailgate and the first football game of the season vs. Case Western Reserve University!

It was also the start of our Spirit Fridays - a new unofficial URochester tradition for students, faculty, and staff to sport our blue & gold together every Friday.
