TUSC Spring Fling Weekend is hosted the last weekend of the spring semester each year. This year's events include a movie night, outdoor barbecue, and the grand finale Spring Fling Concert. The concert, a 6k person outdoor show, will feature an opening performance by Group Love and a Headline Featuring Zara Larsson

April★25th

Green Dot resources and trained staff will be present throughout the weekend. If you or a friend are in need of support, you can connect with Green Dot ambassadors, Spring Fling volunteers, or TUPD. Green Dot certified staff will be wearing their green lanyards. Green Dot representatives will be stationed at the Chill Zone in front of Ballou for the duration of the event.

Remember, a crowd does not equal consent

Ask before you dance with someone!

Get permission before taking someone’s photo

Don’t pressure someone into giving their consent → “Pressured or hesitant agreement is NOT consent.”

There are many ways to enjoy Spring Fling, and students make a wide range of choices about drinking. Students who choose to drink can use simple strategies to reduce risk. An easy way to remember some key strategies is the acronym MAPP:

Measure your own drinks so you know what & how much you’re drinking

Alternate between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks

Pace yourself to no more than one standard drink per hour
Plan your drink limit and safe travel in advance

Fuel your fun! Eating before and during the event—especially for people who choose to drink—can help you feel your best and enjoy the concert! Take advantage of the free food we are offering!

Students who plan to host a gathering may order a free TUSC Brunchable Kit with bagels, cream cheese, and fresh fruit for 6 people (while supplies last)

All students are welcome to come to Carmichael Dining Center for breakfast starting at 7am—no meal plan required!

The Office for Campus Life will be hosting a free Spring Fling BBQ on the lawn at 80 Professors Row from 10am-1pm

Swing by the Chill Zone and Pizza Tent for free pizza, snacks, and water—hang out and refuel before diving back into the music

If you plan to host a gathering during the weekend, be mindful of your community:

Get plenty of sleep so you can enjoy the day! Start your event after 10am

When playing music, be courteous to your neighbors (with sound levels and lyric content). Shutting windows and doors helps with noise containment.

Pick up trash and keep your community clean

Follow Green Dot best practices at your events. Make sure everyone knows who the host is and where to go for help if they need it.
