Campus Traditions
Lancer Madness (late October/early November) — This high-energy event kicks off basketball season by introducing the men's and women's
basketball teams to hundreds of cheering students packed into the gym. School spirit
is raised with games and relays like the dunk contest and 3-point shootout, and free
food and prizes for the fans.
Fortuna Bowl (November) - During Parent/Family Weekend, the Intramurals Flag Football Championship Games
are played on the Front Lawn in front of hundreds of fans with food trucks, fireworks,
and more.
Merry & Bright (late November/early December) – Merry & Bright is CBU’s campuswide Christmas celebration. Students and faculty
gather each year to officially kick off the Christmas season with a reading of the
Christmas story, a tree lighting, lots of hot cocoa and Christmas music. Oh, and did
we mention snow and sledding?
Lancer Takeover (April) – The Lancer community and their families take over Castle Park amusement park for
a night of rides, mini-golf, dinner, a DJ and more!
