New students welcomed
The third annual New Student Convocation will be held today in Northrop Auditorium with a special historical twist in honor of the sesquicentennial celebration.
University President Mark Yudof will welcome new students along with five upper-class students from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. The University Marching Band will also perform.
"Our research shows that students look to peers for reasons to stay in school," said Verna Cornelia Simmons, director of the First-Year Experience and Leadership Programs, in a prepared statement. "We have more than 300 faculty and staff members signed up to volunteer at convocation. That shows a commitment to undergraduate students."
Highlights include:
4:45-5:25 p.m. -- formal welcome from Yudof and advice from upper-class students.
5:30-7:30 p.m. -- dinner, music, prizes and other entertainment at the field house.
-- Compiled from staff reports.
