TRADITION• value •

It is said that those who ask for the mighty Griffon’s protection will be watched over on their quest for education. Prospective students ask the Griffon for his protection by rubbing his head as they depart on a campus tour. At Commencement, students leave the University as they came in, with one last request for protection and luck on their next quest.
