You’re invited to the first ever Paint the Town Purple domestic travel event. Bulldogs near and far can escape the winter chill in Phoenix, Arizona, January 23-25, 2026. Events include an alumni and friends reception, golf, hiking and more. The weekend is flexible – join us for one or multiple events as your schedule and interest allow.

Bulldog guides will be at all the stops along the way, and there is enough free time for you to explore the best that Phoenix has to offer on your own.
