Traditional Events

Douglass sponsors many events that long have been a significant part of the college`s history and tradition. Orientation Week is designed by a student committee to acquaint the new student with life at the college. The academic year starts with a welcome assembly and is followed by Campus Night, which brings the whole community together for a fall picnic. Community Development Day, Mom`s Day, Latin History Month, and the Yule Log ceremony all take place in the fall term.

The spring term features Winter Ball, Black History Month activities, Annual Women`s Conference, International Spectacular, Dad`s Day, the New Jersey Folk Festival, and Founder`s Day. The Sacred Path Ceremony symbolizes the "moving up" of each class and recognizes students for outstanding service to the college; the Student Leadership Recognition Program honors outstanding leadership in student organizations. Senior Week is the final event of the academic year, culminating with the commencement convocation, at which academic honors and achievements are recognized.

Redbook

The student handbook, known as the Redbook, is a key resource for students and contains all important information about Douglass College and Rutgers University offices and services.
