Faculty, staff, graduate student staff and retirees have until 5 p.m. Friday (May 16) to register for certain activities held during Spring Fling, the annual appreciation event taking place from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. May 22 at and around Memorial Mall.

Registration for Spring Fling activities is available online, along with the door prize entry form. To enter the drawing for door prizes, individuals should print out the form, complete it, bring it to Spring Fling and deposit it at the information table by 2 p.m. All winners will be notified May 23 via email or phone.

Registration-required activities

The classic vehicle show is scheduled from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the northwest corner of Oval Drive. Faculty, staff and retirees interested in displaying their antique, classic and show cars, trucks, motorcycles and other vehicles are invited to register for a spot. Special awards will be presented at the end of the show, and all participants will receive an event dash plate.

Tee times for the golf outing at the Ackerman-Allen Course will be available starting at 9:30 a.m. The price to play 18 holes is $60 with a cart and $40 without, and Purdue staff IDs will be checked as players sign in. To reserve a tee time, call 496-9313.

Registration for the three-mile, noncompetitive fitness walk around campus is required for those who would like to participate and receive a medal. Participants can begin the walk between 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. and must finish by 3:30 p.m. The first 700 who sign up and participate will receive a medal.

Employees who cannot make it to campus for Spring Fling can also participate in the fitness walk remotely. Additional details can be found on the Spring Fling remote staff engagement webpage.

Non-registration activities

All other activities — including yard games, the blood drive, mindfulness exercises, disc golf and bingo — do not require registration. This year, bingo will be located in Wilmeth Active Learning Center, Room 1018. View the Spring Fling map for a full list of activities around Memorial Mall and their locations.

Lunch will be available at the food tent at Memorial Mall beginning at 11:30 a.m. The Spring Fling coordinating committee requests individuals only take one lunch as carry-out options will not be available.
