Family Connection

A Conversation with Justin – Traditions

March 25, 2015 by Priscilla Childress

As we celebrated the 110th birthday week of Missouri State University, traditions seemed to be the huge focus on our campus. Not only are traditions a unique way to take a look back at how our school has thrived for the last century, it’s also a perfect avenue for us as students to take a break from our studies and connect with the rest of the student body.  justin1

A huge part of traditions is our alumni. They set the groundwork for these traditions we celebrate as well as being incorporated into the celebrations when possible. We don’t come to this university simply to get a college education, as I’ve said before, we’re here to be a BEAR. That comes with being engaged in different aspects of our culture and making a difference here at Missouri State.

Another avenue for us as students to become engaged in our traditions is our sports teams. Our sporting events allow for traditions to be ever-changing and alive and well on our campus. Most of these events are free to us as students which makes it that much easier for the student body to make an impact on continuing old traditions as well as laying the groundwork for new ones.​
