First Saturday
Owl Involved and First Saturday in Paradise serve as the kickoff event to our exciting Red and Blue Weeks on campus. Red and Blue Weeks are intended to help incoming students begin to paint their Owl story. Students who attend First Saturday can expect to build greater affinity with the University and get immediately connected to campus resources.
This year, First Saturday will take place on August 17 at 8 p.m. at the Howard Schnellenberger Field of FAU Stadium. We are inviting our students and the local community to be a part of something special as 200 drones take to the sky in a custom paradise-themed show to close out our weekend together and kick off your Florida Atlantic journey. If you want to view the drone show, please arrive at 8:30 p.m. to be loaded into the endzone for show seating. Seating will be on a first come, first serve basis. The drone show will immediately follow the First Saturday program for our incoming students, with a scheduled start time of 9 p.m.
