71st annual Watermelon Cutting
Join Interim President Shelley Nickel for this Georgia Southern summertime tradition that dates back to 1948. Late President Zach Henderson wanted to provide a cool treat to the students, faculty and staff who were still on campus during the hot summer months. Today, more than 200 watermelons, put on ice a week in advance, are used for each cutting. The Statesboro Campus Watermelon Cutting will take place at 10 a.m., July 17, on the Pedestrium next to the Carruth Building. The Armstrong Campus Watermelon Cutting will take place at 10 a.m., July 19, at Shearouse Plaza, near the Learning Commons and International Garden.
