Wildcat Pride
October is filled with Wildcat Pride here at the University of Arizona – the energy is palpable! We love opportunities to celebrate with our students and campus community, and we want to ensure that Wildcat parents and families are informed about what’s happening so that you can share in the festivities as well.
But first, be sure to take a selfie! Stop by the main BookStores and pose with our stand-up Wilbur and Wilma figures when you enter. Use hashtag #uazbookstores so we can welcome you into our family!
This month we continue to highlight our Hispanic Heritage and celebrate that our university is recognized as a Hispanic Serving Institution. You will also see our colorful Pride celebration, and the buying team has a thoughtfully curated selection of apparel and gifts to support these communities and provide opportunities for everyone to feel seen and heard. With our commitment to being “More Than Just a Store” you can always find dedicated product that supports our Wildcat community.
We hope you’ll join us for Homecoming weekend, October 27-29. As one of the biggest celebrations and collaborative events on campus, it’s the perfect time to visit your Wildcat and show off your Wildcat Pride with the campus community! Our stores will be abuzz with great game day gear and shelves stocked with your Homecoming essentials. This year we are featuring an exclusive pop-up with limited edition, one-of-a-kind merchandise that can only be seen and purchased in our main store. Follow us on social and keep an eye out for more details.
Did you know we have multiple locations on campus? Besides the main store in the Student Union Memorial Center (SUMC), we have 4 stores in Arizona Stadium and 2 stores at McKale Center. We’ve got you covered: mom and dad, grandpa, sister, and the rest of the gang. You don’t want to miss all that’s in store (pun intended), so come check us out! We are even hosting a Game Day Giveaway this month – no purchase necessary, just scan the QR code at the registers and enter to win a fun Game Day Bundle.
Looking forward to having you share and celebrate your Wildcat Pride with us – Bear Down!
