Traditions

Elmira College is full of traditions and that is one of the things that I liked most about EC when doing the college search. When I was researching schools and looking on their websites I ended up on the page about Elmira's tradtions and what they mean, and I thought that it was really interesting and cool.

This weekend I was able to experience the tradition of Holiday Weekend for the first time. Just like the orientation trilogy, candlelight, and Mountain Day, it was yet another new and exciting experience for me to have here at EC. It started on Friday night with the Holiday Banquet. It was a nice change of pace from the wraps, pizze, omlets, and burgers that have consumed my diet since coming to EC. Being able to eat a wonderful Turkey dinner with stuffing, beans, cranbury sauce, and potatoes was a nice treat when I got there. As well as eating the amazing food it was fun to see all the different professors, coaches, and administrators hosting table and sharing a meal with all of us students.

The tradtitions that Elmira has are something that makes going here even more fun and interesting. they are something that really brings everyone together and gives both the students and staff something to have pride in.
