Crowd dancing joyfully at an outdoor event, with diverse participants in casual attire and hats.

AGGIES BREAK INTO GROUP DANCING. Students and staffers were able to visit Truist Stadium for Aggies Out West, an official Wellness Day event. Classes were suspended for the day and attendees were lavished with giveaways, free food, health and wellness vendors, interactive activities, DJs with their dance music and more.

Students in the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences and across campus came in droves to dance, ride horses, and unwind in 2024’s Spring Wellness Day. An optional event each semester where classes are suspended, Wellness Day offers students, faculty and staff an opportunity to unwind, reflect, and relax with various functions taking place at N.C. A&T. This semester, students packed Truist Stadium on April 8th for “Aggies Out West”, a Western-themed ranch presented by Aggie Wellness 365 that offered horseback riding, line dancing, giveaways, food trucks, live music and wellness vendors.
