There is a dynamic activities program on campus. The Student Activities Committee (SAC) plans, promotes, and produces events featuring bands, comedians, magicians, and novelty entertainers. Other events include Grocery BINGOs, intramurals, custom-made products, movies, and road trips. The Cottey College Performing Arts Series sponsors performances each year that span the realm of music, theatre, and dance. Students are admitted free to all campus performances, except student organization fundraisers. Some performances will sell out.
Much of Cottey’s character can be attributed to its traditions. Cottey traditions, some of which date back to its founding, serve as a symbolic expression of the rich and unique heritage shared by the College community. Others have evolved through the years and are perpetuated by students. Cottey life is enriched and made more special by many traditions.
