Spirit Rock

The Penguin Mailbox, Rikki Tikki, Nationball, late night breakfast and the Warrior Walk are now welcoming the newest tradition on campus known as Spirit Rock. Various groups around campus sign-up to paint the rock to help support different activities, from athletic events to art shows and fundraisers. There's no doubt that Spirit Rock helps create lots of conversations around campus.

"Traditions like Spirit Rock play a strong role in developing our campus culture," said Director of Student Orientation and Engagement, Stephanie Maus. "In some ways, traditions are what makes Jessup...Jessup."

While students were away on spring break, the 60,000-pound boulder was brought in to kick-off the new tradition. "Students joke about how the rock literally appeared out of nowhere," said Grace Keough. "It's become really popular. If you just say, let's meet at the rock, everyone knows what you're talking about."
