August 1 is Dordt Day

August 1 is Dordt Day, a day where Defender Nation can show off their Dordt gear and receive 30% off at the Online Campus Store.

At Dordt University, August 1 is Dordt Day – a chance for Defender Nation to show off Dordt apparel and get 30% off at the Online Campus Store.

“Dordt Day is a fun way to engage as alumni, parents, students, and families, no matter where you live in Defender Nation,” says Alicia Bowar, director of alumni and parent relations. “We often hear stories of people finding Dordt connections on vacation, in an airport, at the grocery story, or on a hiking trail simply because someone is wearing Dordt gear.”

To receive 30% off at the Online Campus Store, Dordt Day participants must:

  • Wear any Dordt apparel and snap a photo
  • Share the photo as an Instagram post, Instagram story, Facebook post, or Facebook comment on Dordt University’s official #DordtDay Instagram or Facebook posts
  • Tag Dordt University and use the hashtag #DordtDay
  • If you have any Dordt COLLEGE apparel or see someone wearing it, submit a photo for you both to be entered into a drawing for $50 gift cards to get outfitted in Dordt UNIVERSITY gear

From there, use code DordtDay24 for 30% off one regular priced gift or apparel item at the Online Campus Store. Some exclusions apply. The code will remain active through August 8.

“On August 1, we encourage everyone to wear their Dordt clothing, find other Dordt connections in their area, and celebrate the community we’re part of through Dordt University,” adds Bowar.
