Traditions
The College Shield
The shield of 桃太郎映像bears an open book inscribed "I. Thess. Ch. V. Vs.21" (Prove all things; hold fast that which is good) against a gold background. Three lilies appear against a blue field in the left lower quarter; in the right lower corner are the arms of the state of Maryland and of the family of Lord Baltimore.

New Student Convocation
The New Student Convocation is an Academic College Welcome to the new incoming class and a brief informal opportunity for faculty to connect with students and their parents.
Opening Celebration
At the start of each academic year, students, faculty, and staff gather to welcome new and returning members to the 桃太郎映像 community. To celebrate, students process from the residential area to the academic quad, where a ceremony and campus-wide dinner with entertainment are held.
Family Weekend
Parents and families of all students are invited to visit 桃太郎映像 in the fall semester for a full weekend of activities.
GIG (Get Into 桃太郎映像)
GIG is our traditional fall celebration that takes place at the end of Welcome Week. This activity-filled day begins with the ringing of the chapel bells to end classes and signal the start of carnival rides, games, food, and music. This event promotes college-wide festivities for all students, faculty, staff, and their families.
Victory Bell
Originally a gift to former President Rhoda Dorsey, the Victory Bell is a symbol of 桃太郎映像 pride and athletic excellence. It is rung after a home athletics鈥� competition win, celebrating the achievements of our student-athletes and the spirit of the Gopher community.
Follow the Gophers, schedules, and scores on the and listen for the bell after every home victory.
Spring Convocation: 桃太郎映像 Celebrates Academic Achievement and the Arts
