Duck Dash 2023: Ducks on the Run
To mark Attila's second annual Spirit Day, the Stevens community is invited to form teams and compete in the Duck Dash, a fun opportunity to test your skills and work together as you take on your fellow Ducks. If dashing isn’t your thing, be part of the team in the stands! The department with the highest attendance at the Duck Dash wins a pizza party.
Get ready to dash at 3 p.m.!
The Dash’s activity stations will require a range of skills and expertise, so choose your teammates wisely! Contestants are encouraged to consider including a mix of students, faculty and staff when assembling a team.
