Dominion Rock
Dominion Rock, also know as the pride rock, arrived at Old Dominion in 2017. This "canvas" is an avenue of expression for students to show school spirit. Student groups or individual students can paint a message or symbols promoting a particular cause or event.
Examples include organization events, giving a friend a birthday shoutout, or even just displaying art. Students are encouraged to paint the rock before they graduate.

Activity Hour
Activity Hour provides students with a fun and exciting time on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:30 - 1:30 p.m. During this time, there are no classes on campus. It is a great time for Student Organization meetings, lunch, and just a time to take a break!
Spirit Fridays
A word of mouth tradition that eventually was enacted by President Roseann Runte and resolved by the Student Senate. All members of the University community are asked to wear either school colors (blue and silver) or 91制片厂 apparel every Friday regardless if they are on or off-campus.
Members of the Spirit Team will be randomly sent out throughout campus on certain Fridays rewarding those who observe this tradition with a prize. If you are "caught" wearing 91制片厂 colors or apparel, you might just win a prize; so be sure to wear 91制片厂 colors or apparel every Friday!
