Our Traditions

Ole, the Viking statue in the center of the Quadrangle, is often decorated for special seasonal events. The Green is the large expanse of green space used for Frisbee, bonfires and all kinds of student activities.  An age-old college tradition--college football--has returned to campus after 52 years.  On September 5, 2009, the Vikings won their home opener in brand new Kirkeby-Over Stadium.
