Peabody Palooza is our annual end of the year spring fair meant to give students a chance to end their semester on a high note! Featuring music, carnival games, and food, Palooza provides students an opportunity to decompress during finals season stress and enjoy the company of their peers outside of rehearsals and class.  

The Peabody Georgie Awards are our annual student leadership awards devoted to reflecting on the great work of our student community.

The first week of classes each Fall are referred to as the “Week of Welcome.” This tradition celebrates the return of the Peabody student body for the academic year. Students can look forward to Spirit Day, giveaways, and a Baltimore Bucket List Challenge to ring in the new school year.  

The Student Affairs team knows that finals season is a time of elevated stress levels and late nights. In a show of support for our hardworking students, Peabody Student Affairs hosts Late Night Breakfast in the cafeteria each semester during finals week. Students can stay late into the evening to study or to decompress with friends while Peabody staff and faculty serve omelets, pancakes, and other breakfast favorites.
