We started off the academic year on the right foot on Thursday, Sept. 18, with fall convocation. Everyone was asked to get on their feet and go out and make it happen.

The mostly filled theater heard from Board of Trustees Chair Tom Lux, President Cheryl Roberts, Student Body Association President Ashley Cowan, were introduced to new employees and congratulated three award winners.

Make sure to check out the welcome week webpage for a list of all of the events and more details.

Some highlights include the Tuesday, Sept. 23, orientation. It is a full day of events with workshops, tours, a resource fair and a BBQ. The parliament members called every new student on the phone to personally invite them to attend the great resource for students. (Awesome job!)

Wednesday has more workshops as well as lunch and music in the courtyard. There is also a pep rally followed by the volleyball game at 6 p.m.

Thursday also includes lunch and workshops, and Friday finishes the week off with two more workshops and the 50th Anniversary open house.
