Ever since the College first opened its Northfield, Massachusetts, campus in 2019, New England students have celebrated the arrival of fall with a Friday-afternoon cider-and-donuts party — with scarves as  a mandatory part of the dress code.

Last week they continued the young tradition by donning scarves and gathering for community and camaraderie on Inman Field, directly behind the Tracy Student Center. “It was really cool seeing other students wearing the same thing that I was,” said sophomore Elizabeth Langley. “It made us feel like a tight-knit community.”

As students sipped on their piquant cider, the final rounds of the fall’s volleyball tournament began in their midst, and the scarf-clad partiers became cheering fans for the players who competed before them. First came the semifinals, in which a student team, led by senior Jean Guerreiro, and a team of tutors clinched a spot in the ensuing final. These two squads then battled and traded scores, with the tutor team ultimately prevailing.

“I was surprised by how well the tutors worked together,” observed freshman Benjamin Dunlap. “Hopefully we can beat them next year.”
