When

All Day, Sept. 28 – Oct. 2, 2026

The midpoint of the fall semester is a time when Wildcats come together to connect, build community, and engage with one another on campus. Bear Down Week is all about supporting one another, preparing for midterms, and discovering what it truly means to "Bear Down."
