Annual Caltech Ditch Day is Today

Caltech's infamous Ditch Day creates quirky, fun atmosphere for students

What:	Caltech seniors ditch their classes and escape campus, while underclassmen devote their entire day attempting to break into the seniors' dorm rooms. Before leaving campus, the seniors devise elaborate mazes, scavenger hunts, and other challenging adventures for underclassmen to face. Rewards and prizes are often the inspiration behind these locks and obstacles, ranging from pizza and soda to concert tickets, etc.
Who:	Caltech undergrad students
When:	Today, approx. 8 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Where:	All over campus
Notes:	Multiple events occur on campus throughout the day, but better photo opps are before noon. Please contact the Media Relations Department for parking instructions. For a map, go to: http://admissions.caltech.edu/visiting/maps
