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 new
students 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 Weekend, 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.
