For the third year in a row, the ²έΑρΙηΗψ Orientation Advisors’ float has captured the Best in Parade Award

Students celebrate winning award

BRISTOL, R.I. – Among the hundreds of floats and attractions marching in the oldest Fourth of July celebration in America, ²έΑρΙηΗψ students once again distinguished themselves via their creativity and ingenuity by receiving top honors in the Bristol parade for the third year in a row.

Their theme, β€œGreat Things Come From Small Places,” brought onlookers a visual journey from Newport to Providence, depicting the landmarks and highlights of the Ocean State, including the Mount Hope Bridge, Newport mansions, Providence skyline, a working lighthouse and real carousel horses.

For more than two decades, the undergraduate Orientation Advisors have joined forces with the facilities staff to construct floats that consistently exceed audience expectations.
