Re: Join us today for convocation
Date: September 3, 2024
I look forward to seeing many students, faculty, and staff later this afternoon for convocation, which marks the start of our academic year. As a reminder, convocation will begin with a gathering on the Campus Center Event Lawn at 4:15 p.m., followed by our procession to the Hay Outdoor Theater promptly at 4:40 p.m. (line up begins at 4:35 p.m.)
Please see Friday’s convocation message for full directions about line up and seating. We also ask that faculty, staff and students download the digital convocation program in advance.
Faculty and staff: Come wearing your academic gowns if possible. (Caps are not needed.) Seniors, we look forward to seeing you in your festive green attire or in academic gowns. No caps needed. All underclass students who attend, please wear your class colors if possible.
It will be warm. Please bring your filled water bottles!
Stepsinging will take place in the theater immediately following the convocation ceremony.
I hope to see you there this afternoon.
