Share your Pickle pride with new Instagram GIFs

November 14 is a big dill. It’s one of our favorite days of the year! National Pickle Day is the perfect time for UNCSA students, alumni, faculty, staff, parents and friends to share their Pickle pride and to honor our beloved mascot, the Fighting Pickle.

This year, we aren’t limiting the celebration to one day. Starting now, you can enjoy using UNCSA-branded pickle GIFs on your Instagram stories 365 days a year.

The initial 10-piece collection includes seven pickles, plus three fun UNCSA GIFs. Below, you’ll find a step-by-step guide to use them, plus a short video walkthrough:
