Great Western Traditions

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Western chapter.

The USC has just announced the publication of a Western traditions book. The book, which will be passed on to incoming first years, is going to be filled in with students’ best and favorite traditions at Western so that upcoming students can make the best of being at Western. They are looking for your student experiences throughout your time at Western so we thought we’d ask around to see what your favorite traditions at Western are, before you get them published!

One tradition that made me proud to be a part of Western and walk around representing the color purple was Western Serves; a campus-wide program that takes place yearly to create awareness and encourage community service learning for Westerns students, faculty and staff. This tradition is very memorable and should be continued for years to come, as it brings students, their professors and other westerners together while giving each individual the opportunity to bring a change to the London community. Furthermore, it creates interest in Westerns and gives them the chance to learn so much about the community in London, while making new friends with the people they volunteer with and at the places work – Anonymous

Rida is a fourth year student at the University of Western Ontario and is extremely excited about the opportunity to bring Her Campus to London! She recently changed her major from Finance to English Literature after finally realizing what she wanted to do with her life. Having spent her whole life in the Middle East (Dubai and Saudi Arabia) Rida had no choice but to grow up a shopaholic! Having shifted from the desert to the great ice box that is Canada, she still finds it difficult to adjust to the freezing weather. In her spare time, Rida likes reading, watching way too many shows, stuffed crust pizza and,of course, shopping! Her aspirations are to one day live in Paris and be a writer for Vogue.
