We are proud of the light that continues to be passed down throughout our long history here in Springfield, Ohio, and we can’t wait for you to come in and create some of your own! Check out some of our favorite traditions.
Myers Sunrise the Morning After Graduation
Every year after graduation the senior class fills up the steps to Myers Hall as they watch the sunrise and reminisce about their four years of #FlyTheW
Stepping on the Seal
Don’t do it. It won’t break your mother’s back, but it could her heart when you step on it. At least until graduation day...that's when one of the best new Wittenberg traditions take place #StompTheSeal
Wally Witt
No one is really sure how he got there or why he’s so famous, but Wally Witt is the man. Give him a wave on your way to the Student Center. #WittFactor
Sledding the Hollow
Yeah, we know you didn’t pack a sled for college – no one ever does. Grab the flattest thing in your room and let’s shred some snow in this Winter. #WittFactor
W-Day
You’ll see! Don’t miss the bell for a full day of fun, hanging-out, and celebrating our community. #WittFactor
WittFest
The Springtime is a beautiful feeling on this campus, and it gets even better when you hear of an awesome headliner is making her or his way to campus to perform! WittFest is a free concert for students – a can’t miss. #TigerUp
Code Red Games
It may become challenging to support Wittenberg's intercollegiate athletics teams as you get busier, but Code Red games are a force to be reckoned with. Grab your face paint! #TigerUp
Alumni Way
Stroll down the brick walkway in the heart of campus, right next to the Benham-Pence Student Center. Maybe you’ll see a name or two you recognize as you enjoy the picturesque scenery that lines Alumni Way. #HavingLight
4Paws Puppies
Yes, we love puppies at Wittenberg. Training service dogs through 4Paws for Ability is a great way to get involved in the campus community and learn the value of service. #HavingLight
Hammocking
Just like you never thought to pack a sled, you might not initially think to pack a hammock. But when your campus is a beautifully landscaped park setting with hundreds of trees, there are plenty of places to hang your hammock while you study or relax after a busy day. #WittFactor
Involvement Fair
This celebration on the first Thursday of classes serves as both a welcome back cookout for students, faculty, and staff, as well as an easy way to check out the many ways to get involved. We are certain you will find at least a few ways to get involved at Wittenberg! #WittFactor
Metal Tigers
Hidden around campus are 15 small, metal, tigers, each representing one of Wittenberg’s previous Presidents. To find them, dive into Wittenberg’s history and learn about each President’s impact on the campus. #HavingLight
Commit to Witt
We celebrate community. Commit to Witt is a day every year that alumni, students, and friends show their support for Wittenberg! #Commit2Witt
