Traditions unite each Winthrop experience and create community among students and alumni. As you engage in student life at Winthrop, take part in the Traditions Challenge, a unique program that promotes participation in our most cherished Winthrop traditions. The Garnet and Gold is your guide to building and identifying lasting traditions, tracking their completion and earning distinction as a Traditions Champion.

Keep track of the traditions you complete by snapping a fun photo of yourself participating in the activity or keeping a souvenir (e.g., a ticket stub) to verify you completed the tradition. The Garnet and Gold has a tracking sheet on page 55 to record the traditions you complete. The Student Alumni Council will host Tradition Tracking days each semester, where you can submit your completed traditions to the Office of Alumni Relations. Or you can submit this information online.

Your level of participation will determine the recognition you earn, and the Office of Alumni Relations will acknowledge your accomplishments with a commemorative gift for each completed level.
