THE DOWNLOAD: Our Trending Day on Social Media

MORE PICNIC DAY

With so many events to see, exhibits to visit and foods to try, it's impossible for any one person to see all of Picnic Day. Luckily, the shared experiences of social media make it easier to experience snippets from all over the campus's 104th open house.

Give Day meant fun appeals

Picnic Day wasn't the only reason for Aggies to mark their calendars last weekend. Friday and Saturday made up Give Day, an annual event for supporters to give to their favorite UC Davis programs. The event gave reasons for programs like the men's basketball team, above, to show off their skills and make an appeal for support.

By Saturday evening, more than 4,000 people had given and #UCDavisGiveDay was trending in the Sacramento region on Twitter.
