About 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Creates

51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Creates is an important event in each new student’s journey when the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ community officially welcomes all incoming new students. During the ceremony, students will also be asked to make a pledge to graduate from 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ. This is the only event where students will be given the honorary 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Cord to be worn at their graduation ceremony. Creates is serving, this year, as the culminating event for the inaugural 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Rebel Ready Week for our new undergraduate students.

Please note that the event will include loud noises and bright lights.
