May Day Brunch
Established: 1916
On the morning of Reading Day in the Spring Semester, JAB holds a brunch to recognize outstanding student leaders from each class and to celebrate their contributions to the Juniata College community. Additionally, there are presentations made to Students of the Year, Outstanding Faculty, Outstanding Staff, Unsung Heroes, and Outstanding Registered Student Organizations. All nominations are made by fellow students, faculty, and staff. The program features several student performers giving them an opportunity to showcase their talents and culminates with the presentation of awards.
History
In 1916, May Day celebrated women by female students wearing flowing white dresses dancing around the May Pole. In 1970s, May Day revolutionized to include a formal breakfast event which recognized women. By 2002, May Day evolved, again, to include men and recognize all our student leaders and thank them for their services and contributions to Juniata College. In 2006, JAB added awards to recognize Registered Student Organizations (RSOs), as well as, individuals.
