Día is not just in Waco; it is wherever YOU are. This year has presented many challenges for Baylor students as the rise of COVID-19 has required us to move off campus and away from each other. But we are determined to still celebrate Díadeloso together-virtually! Díadeloso: Social Distancing Edition is happening April 21st, 2020! Celebrate with us by keeping up with Baylor University, Baylor Student Activities, and Baylor Diadeloso social media accounts.

8:00 PM Conclusion

How did Díadeloso get started?

Día started in 1932 as a way to "bring smiles to the faces of students" by giving them a break from classes. The annual spring holiday gradually became a favorite pastime. Re-organized by the Chamber of Commerce in 1935, its popularity rapidly grew and the name of the occasion through the years changed from All University Day to Physical Fitness Day to May Day. In 1966 students voted to name the annual occasion "Díadeloso" or "The Day of the Bear."
