Friday is all about Celebrate—showing your RMC pride and jumping into campus traditions with full energy. The afternoon kicks off with the Macon Spirit Lab at Fountain Plaza, where you can listen to the RMC Drumline, snap a photo with Buzz, add your name to a giant spirit banner that will be displayed at athletic events throughout the year, and learn the RMC fight song so you’re ready to cheer on the Yellow Jackets all season long. Wear your black and lemon, then end the night with food, music, and fun at Fridays After Five: Welcome Week Bash. It’s a day to celebrate the traditions, memories, and community you’re already helping to build at RMC!
