Three tips for creating a tradition on campus:
– Keep some consistency, it’s good to mix things up but to continue to grow a tradition there needs to be a solid foundation to keep consistent.
– Stay relevant to student interests, if it’s a tradition but there isn’t buy-in from students it won’t work.
– Have opportunities for students to be involved, or volunteer, during the event.
