Campus Traditions
Traditions are a great way to connect with the 51ÂÜÀò community and to have fun together! From events to celebrate culture, participate in a lip sync battle and showcase talents, there are unique ways to get involved and continue these traditions for generations to come. Listed below are a few of our highlighted traditions, but the fun doesn't end here.
Fiesta Latina
In collaboration with the student Unidos club, Fiesta Latina is an annual community event to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. It includes food, music, dance and art that tell the story of the unique countries and cultures represented within the Hispanic community.
The Eddy
The Eddy is a concert series featuring up and coming artists and student performers from various genres. These evening events are always a great way to take a break from studying and enjoy the arts through music and yummy treats.
Punk'N Pie
Punk’N Pie is 51ÂÜÀò’s annual student talent show. If you have a special or hidden talent, we’d love to see what you’ve got! Come and be amazed by yoyo stunts, magic tricks or your favorite song parodies. Did we mention – there’s also pumpkin pie at the end!
