Roberson and Grant Earn CSU Tower Traditions Medal

Early in their educational journey at CSU, new students learn about CSU's Tower Traditions program. As “Tradition Keepers,” CSU students can track their campus involvement as they participate in various campus traditions. Upon completing 45 of the 58 available traditions — which range from taking photos with their orientation leader, Cody the Cougar and the university president, to attending specific activities and events — students receive the Tower Traditions Medal which they can wear with their cap and gown at commencement. Recently, Turner College students Lauryn Roberson and Lizzy Grant both had to honor of accepting the Tower Traditions Medal, which has previously been awarded to only 100 CSU students. Roberson and Grant are both scheduled to graduate from the Turner College next month. Roberson will earn a bachelor's degree in business administration while Grant will receive a bachelor's degree in marketing. Development of the Tower Traditions program was spearheaded by Jennifer Joyner, Assistant Vice President, Alumni Engagement & Special Events at CSU. A Mercer University alum, Joyner earned an M.S. in organizational leadership from the Turner College.
