2009 Convocation was held at 10:00am on Friday, September 11, 2009, in the Icardo Center
New Student Convocation is a formal ceremony for incoming CSUB students (new & transfer students) and their families. Just as Commencement (Graduation) celebrates the completion of students' academic journey, Convocation commemorates its beginning. The New Student Convocation ceremony will create an opportunity for students to be officially recognized and welcomed into the CSUB community. You will also meet fellow students and faculty as well as hear from our University President as he conveys the importance of students' educational endeavors and CSUB's commitment to support them in the achievement of their goals - both inside and outside the classroom. This academic tradition is hosted by President Mitchell, faculty, staff and student leaders.
A day of celebration and festivities follows the New Student Convocation ceremony, including free food, a club/resource fair, and various activities/events for everyone, including admission into CSUB Roadrunner athletic events (soccer game). Please refer to the schedule of events at the Convocation website for additional information.
