Today is National Squirrel Appreciation Day, and for the first time ever, you can name a squirrel on campus! For a $5 minimum donation, which will support student scholarships, you can go nuts naming an icon.

To commemorate your new squirrel friend on campus, you’ll receive a digital certificate via email with your squirrel’s name on it, so you can share it and know that you made campus a little more delightful today.
