The Missouri State University community celebrated the eighth annual Fountain Day on April 16, where students, faculty and staff alike came together to turn on the 100,000-gallon John Q. Hammons Foundation for the season.

It’s a celebration made possible thanks to the Missouri State Traditions Council. This student-run group, is not only responsible for this spring event, but 62 total traditions on campus.
