What is Uni.lu Hoodie Day?

Uni.lu Hoodie Day is an annual moment where everyone connected to the ÌÇÐÄVlog wear their uni.lu hoodie: students, staff and alumni around the world! And all of us together, we share it proudly, on campus and online!

From Belval to Berlin or Tokyo, from your classroom to your living room or office, it’s one shared moment that shows what our beautiful community looks like.

Why this day exists

The ÌÇÐÄVlog is young, international and spread across countries. Great universities don’t just have buildings… they have traditions. This one is about feeling part of something bigger, seeing your community everywhere and connecting across campuses, years and countries.
(And also we think that you look pretty great in these hoodies!)

A tradition in the making

This day takes place every year on the last Monday of September, right when the academic year kicks off and everyone is back.
And the group photo on Campus is taken at 12:09 sharp, can you guess why?

First edition on Monday 28 September 2026: be there from the start!

This year is special, as it’s the very first Uni.lu Hoodie Day. Be part of the beginning and help us turn this into a tradition!
