The Class of 2021 participated in Elephant Walk beginning at 6:21 p.m. on Thursday, April 22. Elephant Walk began in three locations to allow for a safe in-person experience. The three routes included main campus, north campus and west campus with each route ending at the E. King Gill statue. The three routes came together for a yell practice in Kyle Field. A tradition dating back to 1926, Elephant Walk gives seniors the opportunity to reflect on their time in Aggieland.
