S2 - E57 - Common Bond Dance (Culture)

  • Summary

  • In this episode, we explore how a simple dance became a powerful tradition that unites first-year students and fosters a sense of belonging from the moment they step on campus. Inspired by Purdue University’s Boiler Gold Rush, our First-Year Experience Office introduced the Common Bond Dance—a fun, easy-to-learn routine set to a popular song that students practice before arriving for Fall Orientation.

    Through video tutorials sent over the summer and spontaneous dance moments throughout Welcome Week, the Common Bond Dance creates shared experiences, breaks down social barriers, and helps new students connect in an inclusive and engaging way. Whether it’s performed while waiting for an event to start or as part of orientation activities, this dance reinforces a culture of camaraderie, excitement, and school spirit.

    Tune in to learn how this simple yet meaningful tradition has strengthened student connections and built a welcoming campus community!
