National Spider Day

To some people, March 14 is Pi Day, but for us, it’s a reason to celebrate the country’s only spider mascot. This year, we dialed up the arachnophoria and Spider spirit by wearing Spider gear.

Spiders around the world joined in on the fun, like Melissa Aste, ’18, and Danielle Del Giudice, ’18, who posed with Maman, a 30-foot sculpture at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. David Sylvia, ’08, stepped out into a Boston snowstorm to snap a quick pic. And Rasheeda Perry, ’03, showed her Spider-at-work style.
