Traditions
  • Floor Snacks: Floormates in each resident hall gather in their lounge or even in the hallway to catch up with their neighbors and resident advisors.
  • Senior Week: Celebrating graduation, seniors begin the festivities a week before commencement with a series of events such as a formal dinner or formal dance.
  • Simmons Cup: Throughout the academic year, dormitories compete to accumulate Simmons Cup points. This annual field day event pits each residence dorm against the other in a day of outdoor events. Events have included a tug of war, pie eating, and a scavenger hunt.
  • Strawberry Breakfast and May Day: Every May 1, students from the sophomore class wake up seniors at the crack of dawn by banging pots and pans. The day continues with a maypole dance, tree planting, and a breakfast with strawberry offerings. A faculty member is asked to address the class with words of wisdom.
  • Student Faculty Dinner: Seniors anxiously await the annual Senior Faculty Dinner. Dressed up, seniors dine with their professors in celebrationof their graduation. It is a chance for students to enjoy a catered dinner with each other and toast their faculty. Departmental honors are announced during dinner, while the wine flows freely.
  • Tea : There is a lot of tea brewing on campus. Resident students meet each month or once a week to socialize and eat. The honors program hosts monthly teas for its members to hear guest speakers and keep students up-to-date on information. Many student groups host small lectures while serving tea.
  • Winter Wonderland: Before students leave for winter break, Bartol dining hall is revamped for a community feast. Faculty and students fill the dining hall tables, as the College president cuts the ham. The residence halls are decorated with lights and ribbons by their hall councils to complete the winter wonderland feeling.
Favorite Things To Do
If you are looking for something to do on campus, try catching an afternoon lecture or sipping a cup of coffee in Java City.

Sun on the quad, curl up with a book in the library, and wade in the hot tub in the Holmes Sports Center
