Traditions
We value our position as the pulse of student life – physically, socially, and culturally. We recognize that every member of our Comet community has a Student Union story to tell. Through these stories we help preserve the rich traditions and legacy that current and former Comets have created, while providing space for new stories to be told well into the future.
