Greetings Faculty!
You are invited to join us for New Student Convocation, which is scheduled for Friday, August 25, at 7:30 p.m. at Sea Gull Stadium. President Lyn Lepre, SGA President Wyatt Parks, SU Alumna Artura Jackson (B ’14, M ’16) and I will make remarks and welcome students. Family members are welcome to attend with you.
The decision to move to the new time and location was driven by several factors, including the heat in The Square and the less than ideal engagement of students in the morning. The students will be assembling in the Stadium for their class photo that evening, so we decided to combine these events. The rain location will be Maggs Gym (any change of venue will be announced by 3:30 p.m. that day).
Because the event will be held at the Stadium, faculty will not be asked to wear regalia; business/business casual dress is recommended. Faculty will enter the Stadium at the south entrance and will sit in the high-back seats in center section. So that we can plan for seating, please let us know by Monday, August 21, that you will be coming by using the link below.
You can park in the East Campus Complex lot, Maroon & Gold Club parking lot (across Power St. from the East Campus Complex) or the SU Parking Garage (view the campus map). Please be seated in the Stadium by 7:20 p.m. (faculty marshals will direct you to reserved seating).
Thank you for joining us for this formal launch of the 2023-2024 academic year!
Laurie L. Couch, Ph.D.
Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs
