Neon Nights Picture 1Neon Nights is a student-run event aimed at raising funds to support the Jed Foundation, a leader in higher education mental health and suicide prevention. In 2023, Stevens became one of the first schools in the nation to host a Neon Nights event! Neon Nights is a lot of fun, for a great cause -- students parade through campus wearing their brightest neon colors, glowing for mental health. Glow Zones along the way keep everyone motivated until they arrive at a one-of-a-kind dance party! To learn more, follow @neonnights_stevens on Instagram.
