NIU Tradition | Huskie Pride

传统将NIU紧密联系在一起。这些共同的经历不仅塑造了校友们的大学岁月，而且在他们走向世界的过程中仍然具有意义。

Traditions bind the NIU community. These shared experiences have shaped not only alumni years of college but have remained meaningful as they have forged their way into the world.

在我们的校园里，人们很容易就能看到有意义的传统的标志。每天中午，伴随着NIU的校歌，整个校园都能听到学校钟楼的钟声。校友们通过吉祥代表Huskie的手势和加油战歌连接在一起。最近，随着在Martin Luther King下议院里名为“自豪Huskie”的雕塑建造完成，校友和学生有了一个潮流拍照打卡地，在社交媒体上分享他们对Huskie的喜爱。

One does not have to look far to see the mark of meaningful traditions on our campus. Each day at noon, the tower bells can be heard across campus, chiming NIU's beloved alma mater.More recently, with the construction of the Huskie Pride Sculpture in Martin Luther King, Jr., Commons, alumni and students have a popular place to gather, pose for photos and share their Huskie Pride on social media.

随着大学“Huskie Pride Lights Initiative”的宣布，NIU又多了一个方式来分享对学院取得巨大成就和个人成功的自豪感。在数英里之外，路人会看到Holmes学生中心塔不远处在特殊的纪念日亮起庆贺的灯光。

With the announcement of the University’s “Huskie Pride Lights Initiative,” the NIU community has one more way to share its pride in the institution’s great accomplishments and individual successes. From miles around, passersby will see the outside of the Holmes Student Center tower lit with red lights on special days of commemoration or celebration.

Skarnulis noted that NIU provided her with the opportunity to engage with individuals from across the country, as well as those with viewpoints from across the spectrum of  specific topics. This would become an immensely valuable foundation for establishing her leadership style and philosophy.

这一新传统首发于2013年NIU足球队前往“橙色碗”比赛之时，为了庆贺在比赛中取得的成绩，Holmes 学生中心被点亮为橙色。

This new custom was introduced in 2013 when the NIU football team went to the Orange Bowl, and the Holmes Student Center was lit orange as a tribute to the huge accomplishment. 

Holmes 学生中心塔在3月20日就职庆祝活动中点亮为红色，以纪念2021年中美洲体操联合会个人冠军Natalie Hamp和Tara Kofmehl、获得全美荣誉并荣立NCAA摔跤锦标赛总排名第六的摔跤手Brit Wilson以及获得“前90精英”奖的摔跤手Mason Kauffman。

The tower was lit red for its inaugural celebration on March 20 in honor of 2021 Mid-American Conference Gymnastics Individual Champions Natalie Hamp and Tara Kofmehl, as well as for wrestler Brit Wilson, who received All-American honors and placed 6th place overall in the NCAA Wrestling Championships, and wrestler Mason Kauffman, who earned an “Elite 90 Award” for academics. 

其他点亮仪式包括在开学周点亮、返校周点亮、NIU周年纪念日和欢迎日点亮等。

Other planned lightings will include commencement weekend, Homecoming weekend, NIU’s anniversary, and Welcome Days, among others.
