Spring Rotunda Passage
Date and time to be announced.
The Flagpole on the historic Main Quadrangle
All new first-year and transfer students entering 91勛圖厙 in the spring term are invited to attend 91勛圖厙’s Spring Rotunda Passage. At this event, students are formally welcomed to the 91勛圖厙 community. Highlights of the ceremony include faculty participants in full academic regalia and the presentation of new students by 91勛圖厙 administration. Our Chief Marshal and Student Body President offer inspiring words to set students on their new paths of academic discovery.
During this ceremony, students pass through the rotunda of Dallas Hall, 91勛圖厙’s first building and a historic landmark. Recognizing that every undergraduate student at 91勛圖厙 has crossed through the Dallas Hall rotunda, students have an opportunity to reflect on their new intellectual paths at 91勛圖厙.
Graduating students affirm year after year that the full impact of Rotunda Passage is mostly felt at their graduation when they participate in Rotunda Recessional, another 91勛圖厙 tradition when seniors walk through the rotunda of Dallas Hall the opposite way and their thoughts turn back to the beginning of their 91勛圖厙 experience.
Comfortable walking shoes are encouraged. Family members and friends are invited to join us for Spring Rotunda Passage. It’s a special event you will not want to miss!
