Campus Traditions
Honors Convocation
Honors Convocation recognizes outstanding students, faculty and alumnae with awards, scholarships and honors each spring.
The Ten Ideals
Inherent in the culture of Stephens College is the tradition of the Ten Ideals (originated in 1921). The Ten Ideals are a set of 10 core values that enrich and inspire the lives of Stephens students. The Ten are also a secret group of 10 students selected by the previous year’s Ten for their personification of individual ideals. The Ten are revealed at Honors Convocation each year.
Crossing the Bridge
Each fall, new students cross the bridges at the heart of the Stephens campus to the welcoming cheers of fellow students and the campus community. Each spring, graduating students cross those bridges in the opposite direction, joining the community of 30,000+ alumni, many of whom are gathered at the base of the bridge to celebrate the newest class of Stephens graduates.
Midnight Breakfast
Hosted by our Student Programming Council, Midnight Breakfast is an annual tradition that invites students to take a break from studying for finals. Faculty and staff connect with students during the last week of the semester by serving late-night breakfast in Stamper Commons.
