Traditions & Events | Emmanuel College Admissions & Aid Academics Beyond Campus Student Life About Traditions & Events At Emmanuel College, we are rooted in our founding mission while always looking to the future. Traditions have changed over the years, but at the core is the Emmanuel community, gathering to celebrate milestones in the student journey. Each year, during both annual and newly planned events, we honor academic markers, alumni contributions, faculty scholarship and family engagement. Graduates remember fondly Founders’ Day, the annual Christmas tree lighting, Moonlight Breakfast and more.
