It’s a tradition dating back hundreds of years, with roots in the European education system. New members of a university community would be granted a scarf, which featured unique colours that identified them as a member of a particular university.
 
On Sept. 10, students at the Bader International Study Centre (BISC) received their scarves – a navy blue knit with red stripes and the BISC logo – in a special ceremony. The scarves were presented to the students by Hugh Horton, Vice Provost and Executive Director of the BISC; Christian Lloyd, the BISC’s Academic Director; and Dr. Anna Taylor, BISC Deputy Academic Director.
