The University’s tremendous history of pride and spirit has been reflected throughout the decades with campuswide events and programs. So join in, have fun, and be a part of Syracuse University’s heritage and traditions.  

Where to start? The Office of Student Life is always looking for students to join our committees that run these traditional events.  Stop by the office or more information.  You can also ask the members of SU’s Traditions Commission, a student organization that is dedicated to keeping Orange spirit alive and supporting University events, which include Orientation– Syracuse Welcome, Home to the Dome, Homecoming, Winter Carnival, National Orange Day, and Senior Celebration.

Home to the Dome Held during Opening Weekend

Homecoming Held in the fall semester usually October or November

Winter Carnival Held the third or forth week in February

Senior Celebration Held the Thursday before Commencement
