Fountain on University of Delaware campus

Attention Class of 2016

Just for seniors: Get a photo in the fountain near Morris Library

University of Delaware seniors have the opportunity this week and next to cross a major item off their UD Bucket Lists, with special permission from UD Police and the Office of Student Life.

At specific dates and times, seniors will be able to get photos of themselves in the fountain near the Morris Library on The South Green. Under normal circumstances, getting in the fountain is prohibited and can result in sanctions through the Office of Student Conduct. 

But this year, graduating seniors who follow a few simple rules will be allowed to get in the fountain at the following dates and times:

• 2-4 p.m., Thursday, May 19;

• 4-6 p.m., Friday, May 20;

• 2-5 p.m., Wednesday, May 25; and

• 7-10 p.m., Thursday, May 26.

The rules are simple, but those who break them will be ejected:

• No more than eight people will be allowed in the fountain at any time.

• You must use the designated entry and exit points.

• No diving will be permitted in the fountain.

• Students will be allowed in the fountain long enough to take a photo and then must exit immediately.

• No horseplay will be permitted in or around the fountain.

• All participants must be appropriately clothed.

• No glass or alcohol will be permitted. 

Students are responsible for bringing their own camera and photographer.

 “We know this is a goal for many of our students, and we wanted to help them to be able to accomplish it safely,” said Capt. Jason Pires, operations commander with UD Police. 

While this opportunity is designed specifically with seniors in mind, others students may participate as well.
