It is an important landmark for Ramapo College and is the symbol of the school. There are ceremonies and events that are done where the arch is the main focus. Every year the school has a Founder’s Day that is located by the arch. There is the Arching Ceremony when people who are knew to the campus go through the arch form the Bradley Center and shake the current President of the college hand. The Arching Ceremony also happens in reverse when commencement happens. This time students come from the main building through the arch to the Bradley Center. In the fall the student involvement fair happens by the arch. If people are looking for a job the school has a site called the archway that can help a person find a job. It is located in the college's grove and is the classical style red stone arch with brick support. It was moved to this location from the courtyard of Theodore Havemeyer, who lived on Madison Avenue in New York City around 1916. The arch is a big deal for the school, it is their logo. If a person gets from the school it will have an arch on it. If a person buys a shirt or other objects from the bookstore it will also have an arch on it.
