Spirit and Traditions

We are the BSU Bears!

Departments within the Division of Student Life hold hundreds of events each year, dedicated to engaging students, faculty, and the Bridgewater State community. These are just some examples of what you can expect, living the #BSUlife!

Homecoming Court

Homecoming

BSU students, alumni, families, and friends join together every fall for Homecoming, which unites the past with the present, creating a wonderful opportunity for alumni to rekindle ties with old classmates and families to reconnect with their students. Traditions include our Athletic Hall of Fame induction ceremony, a parade and pageant, a fair at University Park, alumni reunions, and the Homecoming football game.
Opening Day BBQ

Kickoff

Kickoff programs, at the start of each academic year, greet all our new and returning students with a flurry of engagement opportunities. From Welcome BBQ to Kickoff events, there is something for everyone to help them get (re)connected to BSULife!
Students clap at commencement
Every May, BSU holds three commencement ceremonies. The BSU community, families and friends celebrate our students as they graduate in two undergraduate ceremonies and one graduate commencement ceremony.
