It provides a chance to unwind.” It is the primary regular event at which the school’s greater community comes togetherâ€"one-half to three-quarters of the student body usually attends. Some Fuqua Fridays have themes, such as Casino Night, a version of television’s  Top Chef  or  Iron Chef, an International Food Festival and Green Week.
