Outfly

A Wartburg College tradition that traces back to the 1890s and is sometimes called by its German name, "Ausflug," Outfly is a student-initiated, one-day holiday. It now occurs once a year during the Fall Term. Outfly is called upon a date known only to the college president and the student body president.

At colleges in the Northeastern United States, a similar observance is known as Mountain Day.
