The history of Spirit Week at Valencia College comes from several years, according to Nelson Sepulveda, Student Development Director at Lake Nona Campus, saying that “Spirit Day has been celebrated at the college for over 40 years. Spirit Week is celebrated across all campuses. That event happens on the third Thursday of every month. One of the things that we have changed in recent years is that instead of being one day, we do the entire week. That way, it provides our students who attend the same campuses an opportunity to go to their campus and move around.”

The week was accompanied by big events, food, and opportunities to buy spirit attire and celebrate Valencia College. It was a week full of celebration, music manager DJs, and games. Many of the students who were at the Lake Nona campus enjoyed the day and spent time doing activities.
Dianna Stafford, 20, General Studies, described how she was spending the day on such a pleasant day. She said, “I like the environment, it is very nice”, also saying Spirit Week was about having fun and making friends.
Many other people described the event just like Stafford as a different environment to distract and make friends. Seeing the courtyard filled with students and amusement spaces is something different where students meet to share with friends. Moreover, Valencia College always has events and big moments to enjoy and share in different ways.
