Malvina Farkle Day shirt celebrates service, Begley Chapel and an opossum By Duane Bonifer Lindsey Wilson University students never know when the university's Malvina Farkle Day will be held. But this year, they will know the design of the T-shirt celebrating the iconic day. A design by Camryn Reece '26 of Edmonton, Kentucky, was selected in an online vote to grace the front of this year's Malvina Farkle Day T-shirt. Malvina Farkle Day is an annual celebration of a mythical Lindsey Wilson alumna and staff member who lived a life of service and fun and had a pet opossum. Classes are dismissed for the day so students can spend the morning working on community-service projects. The afternoon includes campus games and activities. All Lindsey Wilson students and employees are given a special T-shirt commemorating the day, which is traditionally announced early on the morning of the day it is held. The 14 students in the "Computer Graphics I" class taught by art instructor Karly Flynn '17 submitted designs for this year's Malvina Farkle Day; Reece's work was selected from among five finalists.
