Baylor University's Student Government will sponsor the annual Traditions Week Feb. 26-March 2, with the theme "Old Memories, New Traditions" to emphasize the role the students play in the creation and preservation of Baylor traditions.
According to co-director Gannon Sims, Traditions Week is a "time for students and staff to reflect on the rich heritage and to look at things we consider traditions now and may not have considered at the time."
