STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Youngstown State University strives to achieve a welcoming, safe, equitable and inclusive campus climate for all students, faculty, staff and visitors to learn and work together in alignment with the University’s mission and policies. Our campus community is enriched by the presence of people of different abilities, ages, colors, creeds, cultures, races, ethnicities, gender identities, gender expressions, political views, religious, spiritual, and philosophical beliefs, sexual orientations, socioeconomic statuses, educational backgrounds and veteran statuses.
Spirit and Tradition helps us understand the past, while learning that our present and future contributions to the community create history for future generations. Therefore, campus participation and Penguin Pride are essential to building a pride-filled community.
The Spirit and Tradition Committee (STC) is formed to:
- Educate students, faculty, staff and community members on the history and accomplishments of YSU community.
- Identify and promote events on campus that build [University] spirit and tradition.
- Collaborate with others on campus and community events that cultivate spirit and tradition.
