Values Day
This year's Values Day takes place on Thursday, November 13, 2025. Values Day is a day each Fall semester for the University community to reflect and act upon our shared values. To allow the entire Stetson University community to attend, the university cancels classes and closes offices. The entire community is not only expected to participate in Values Day - every member is encouraged to help lead the many workshops, programs, and activities that take place throughout the day. More information about the schedule can be found below.
