CROSSOVER 2026
What the Crossover Ceremony Means
The 1907 Collection proudly sponsors the Crossover Ceremony — a night that bridges generations, honors legacy, empowers movement into the future, and celebrates the students who carry the flame forward.
Each year, we recognize influential elders, lift up community pillars, and spotlight student leadership through awards, mentorship, and ceremonial transition into our alumni ecosystem.
This is more than tradition — it’s legacy in motion.
