The Flagpole on the historic Main Quadrangle
All new first-year and transfer students entering 青涩直播 in the spring term are invited to attend 青涩直播’s Spring Rotunda Passage. At this event, students are formally welcomed to the 青涩直播 community. Highlights of the ceremony include faculty participants in full academic regalia and the presentation of new students by 青涩直播 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, 青涩直播’s first building and a historic landmark. Recognizing that every undergraduate student at 青涩直播 has crossed through the Dallas Hall rotunda, students have an opportunity to reflect on their new intellectual paths at 青涩直播.
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 青涩直播 tradition when seniors walk through the rotunda of Dallas Hall the opposite way and their thoughts turn back to the beginning of their 青涩直播 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!
