Kuviasungnerk Kangeiko ("KUVIA") Winter Festival!
For the past 30 years, at the start of every winter quarter, UChicago students have braved cold weather and pre-dawn wake-ups to attend Kuvia, a week-long festival founded by Sociology Professor Don Levine. Students gather at Henry Crown Field House every morning at 6 a.m. for calisthenics and workshops led by RSOs ranging from Raas to Crew. On the last morning of Kuvia, student trek to the Point to salute the rising sun. Students who attend every morning are rewarded with a coveted Kuvia shirt to celebrate their efforts.
