Everyone's favorite day of the year is less than two months away! On April 25th, Fountain Day is back and is bigger and better than ever. The UAlbany administration has done a great job hosting Fountain Day in the past, but this year SA will be adding to the festivities by inviting famed rapper Flo Rida into our cherished fountain.




Flo Rida will be performing at 2pm on the SA Splash Stage before the fountain turns on. His single, "Right Round," has made digital music history by setting the record for the highest digital single debut with 636,000 downloads in its first week. The track also became the fastest million-selling digital song ever, reaching platinum status in just two weeks. This worldwide embrace was the culmination of years building his skills and credibility on the underground circuit.



Fountain Day will continue with games, contests, caricatures, photo booths, tattoos, jousting, a bungee trampoline, a mechanical bull, and boxing. You can also win various Fountain Day-themed prizes at times throughout the day. Great food like hot dogs, chips, cookies, and soda will be provided for free the entire time. Finally, the Fountain will be turned on and all of UAlbany goes crazy!

Just to clarify the Alumni issue, according to new University at Albany policy, "Participation in Fountain Day 2010 is limited to current UAlbany students." Please note that the Student Association played no role in this decision. SA's full statement on this matter can be found here.

All UAlbany students who plan on attending must first register on MyUAlbany. Complete registration information can be found on the official UAlbany Fountain Day site.

See you on April 25th!
