University Convocation, Sept. 1

Setting the tone for community & connection

Dear students, staff and faculty,

Please join me at University Convocation this Thursday, Sept. 1, from 10:30 a.m.–12 p.m. Our annual Convocation each year is an important time of community and connection. This year, we will once again meet in person in Pioneer Memorial Church. Following convocation, all are invited to visit with each other and enjoy some music with light refreshments on the flag mall.

• Students are expected to attend this 2022 University Convocation in person, where co-curricular or chapel credit for in-person attendance is available. Students who are not studying in-person on campus can watch a livestream of Convocation here.
• Faculty are expected to wear their regalia and should line up in front of PMC by 10:15 a.m. if they have no time conflicts. If they have a class or meeting that ends at 10:20 a.m., they should arrive as soon as possible. The processional will begin promptly at 10:30 a.m., but there is no order in the line-up so faculty can arrive after the processional begins and join at the end of the faculty line. 
• Staff are encouraged to attend in person if possible.

In order to accommodate this Andrews University community event, classes normally scheduled for 10:30 a.m. will be canceled.

I look forward to seeing you as we open this academic year together.

Andrea Luxton
President
