Tradition

Throughout New Student Orientation students take part in traditional ceremonies and events that teach students what it means to be a Bucknellian. First-year students will receive their class pin and walk through the Christy Mathewson Gates, learn the alma mater at ‘Ray for the Orange and the Blue, and participate in the annual Convocation and Candlelighting ceremonies.
