Opening Convocation

Start the Semester with 91Âé¶¹Ó³»­ Spirit and Good Company

Let’s kick off the 2025-26 Academic Year together! Join us Monday, Aug. 25, at 9 a.m. in Shove Memorial Chapel for Opening Convocation—a 91Âé¶¹Ó³»­ tradition where we gather as a campus community to reflect, welcome new faces, and look ahead to the year to come.

Immediately following Opening Convocation, join us at 9:30 a.m. for breakfast. It’s the perfect chance to reconnect with colleagues, meet new community members, and enjoy a relaxed moment before the first block launches.

Whether you're faculty, staff, a student, or part of one of the many teams that make 91Âé¶¹Ó³»­ thrive, your presence matters. Help us start the year with connection, inspiration, and community.

We can’t wait to see you there!
