Picnic Day

Since 1962, the Board of Directors elects (a) parade marshal(s) to be the distinguished guest(s) of Picnic Day. A subcommittee of Directors evaluates a pool of candidates ranging from different backgrounds. In selecting the parade marshal(s), the subcommittee is looking for individual(s) who: shows passion for his or her job, personifies the current theme, represents Aggie Pride, has made contribution to the campus and Davis community, and, most of all, is a role model to society. Picnic Day has selected individuals who have been involved in various fields such as the arts, sciences, politics, and etc.
