Tradition Keeper

The SUU Tradition Keeper program links students and alumni through shared involvement in Thunderbird traditions and activities. The program targets current students, but alumni and friends, in Utah and elsewhere, are also invited to participate and track the completion of each tradition on the scorecard. Incentive prizes will be awarded along the way.

Students who complete all 50 traditions will have the exclusive opportunity to purchase a Tradition Keeper stole to wear at SUU Commencement. All participants who finish the program will earn an exclusive keepsake that represents their commitment to honoring Southern Utah University traditions now and forever.

Holidays in Cedar City

Cedar City during Christmas time is a magical experience! Not only is downtown Cedar City beautiful with lights strung overhead from building to building in the heart of town, but many locals have put time and passion into the lights on their homes to provide festive, beautiful holiday views that will undoubtedly spark your “tis the season” spirit. So grab some friends and some hot cocoa and enjoy Cedar’s winter wonderland to celebrate the end of the semester.
