We’re all Eagles at Mary Washington. But every spring, battle lines are drawn and sides are taken as students declare themselves Devils or Goats in this uniquely UMW event. Held on the Thursday before classes end, one of Mary Washington’s oldest traditions sees students gathering in Ball Circle for a carnival celebration and some friendly competition to win prizes and gain bragging rights on campus. Students who will graduate during an odd year are Devils; those with an even graduation year are Goats. Despite the rivalry, it’s all fun and games, and 2019’s Devil-Goat Day was no exception! Here are some highlights from the day.<\/p>
