RAMDITION Through the Archway Ceremony Appropriate Attire 

RAMdition’s Through the Archway ceremony is a truly special event designed to instill a sense of pride, tradition, and accomplishment in the students who participate.

It is an opportunity to celebrate the huge step that our newest students are taking in their lives, both into adulthood and into a new and exciting collegiate experience. This occasion will be witnessed by many proud parents, families, and friends of our first-year students, and will be captured in pictures that will last a lifetime as they transition from lambs to Rams.

As such, an appropriate level of decorum and professionalism is expected of the participating students. We ask that each student do their best to adhere to the suggestions.

These photos show examples of appropriate student attire for this event.
