![]() Traditions make OBW memorable for students and
their company advisors (CAs). One of the OBW
traditions that teaches a lesson and gets the students
excited is the "I Goofed" tie.
Anyone who has ever volunteered their time as a CA
has worn this tie. The tie's purpose is to show the
students that mistakes are inevitable and the best way
to deal with a mistake is to learn from it and to keep
improving yourself.
