Show Your Pride

Whether you’re a current student, proud alum (from the days of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ State or Richard Â鶹ÊÓƵ College!), or part of the extended Osprey family, we hope you celebrate your Â鶹ÊÓƵ pride at University Weekend this year.

 

Â鶹ÊÓƵ Traditions

Every true Osprey should know a few of our campus traditions. Are you up to speed?

Learn More About Talon
In January 1973, Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s College Council selected the Osprey as the mascot after several rounds of voting over alternatives like Sandpipers and Clamdiggers.

Ospreys on Parade

Lyrics by Stephen Dunn

Let us travel in the footsteps of those who came before:

Here on our campus in the pines, knowledge opens every door.

And when we go marching out into the world beyond our Â鶹ÊÓƵ;

At ease with what we learned our future has begun.

Knowledge leads to knowledge and Â鶹ÊÓƵ shows the way.

Oh, let us be among those for whom Â鶹ÊÓƵ leads the way;

Oh, let us proudly strive, to be examples day by day.
