Step on up for the 11th annual Jagapalooza. On April 26, 2024, you and your guests can unwind before finals week with carnival rides, games, food trucks, and more.
Jagapalooza was established in 2013 and has grown in size and spirit throughout the last decade. The biggest pride point being that the campus-wide event is planned and executed by students on the Student Activities Programming Board and supported by the Division of Student Affairs.
