What people say about Convocation ...

"This was a most impressive and emotional way to start an educational journey and for parents and loved ones to let go of their children. That ceremony will always be one of my fondest memories."

The Beginning of a College Career

Join us for New Student and Family Convocation on Saturday, Aug. 22, 2020

Just as Commencement marks the completion of study, New Student and Family Convocation signifies the beginning of a college career. These rituals “bookend” the beginning and culmination of your academic journey.

Convocation brings new students and their families together with faculty and staff to mark a new beginning. It also serves as a vehicle to instill core institutional values of scholarship, citizenship and leadership.

All new transfer, freshman and commuter students and their families are strongly encouraged to attend this special event.
