校园传统

入学考试

The beginning of a student’s academic journey at 蓝色的field State begins with our traditional 入学考试 Ceremony. 欢迎周末期间, all first-year students gather for this ceremonial event that marks the official start of their time at the University. In addition to the official welcoming ceremony, new students recite the 入学考试 Oath and are invited to sign the 入学考试 Pledge, signifying their commitment to 蓝色的field. New students and their 家庭 are the honored guests at this important campus tradition.

欢迎周

欢迎周 is the official kick-off week for the academic year and the first major program students experience at 蓝色的field State. Each year the week is filled with activities to make new 朋友, 熟悉校园, 拍摄传统的班级照片, and have lots of fun before the semester gets frantic.

同学会

蓝色的field State is your home away from home. Our alumni are thrilled to come back during 同学会 each fall semester to catch up with classmates, 朋友, 教师 & staff, see what has changed, what has stayed the same, and explore the 蓝色的field community. The 同学会 Court and the crowning of the King & Queen is a tradition that has a long history at the University for popular students each year, along with various class reunions, 车尾派对, and the traditional home football game. BSU 同学会 is a weeklong celebration for our entire campus community.

蓝色的爵士

蓝色的爵士 is 蓝色的field State University’s official mascot and biggest cheerleader – our well-known 蓝色的 Great Dane who is a beloved presence at BSU sporting events and campus activities. 蓝色的爵士 appears at as many university functions as possible. University-sponsored活动, like summer Freshman Orientation programs, BSU迎新周, 还有运动项目, 优先. When you see 蓝色的爵士 at an event - don’t be afraid to say hello or grab a photo!

午夜早餐

Every semester students take a break from studying and enjoy the company of their classmates at the 午夜早餐 each semester. Members of the 蓝色的field State 教师 and staff serve a free late-night breakfast to students in the University Dining Hall before the first day of Final Examinations.

唱母校歌

蓝色的field State 校友 Eugene Jones ’38, penned The 蓝色的field State Hymn in 1935 and since that time has been performed by students and alumni at numerous campus events for decades. Students and alumni show their pride when performing the great Hymn both on and off campus.

Upward through the years we’ll clime 
当我举起你的时候
