Crossing over to college life
Published:
Central officially welcomed its newest Blue Devils to campus on Aug. 24 with a day of ice breakers, classmate meet-and-greets, and the first-year convocation ceremony in Welte auditorium.
Carrying on a popular tradition, Student Life staff set up a class photo on Vance lawn in which all new students assembled to form a large letter “C” in a gesture of school spirit.
The New Student Convocation ceremony marked the official beginning of the students’ academic experience at Central and included addresses of encouragement from faculty members and campus leadership. The academic deans from each school presented students with a keepsake lapel pin that depicts the new Sophomore Bridge on campus and the words "Begin your journey."
The celebration continued with a barbecue lunch on Vance Lawn for all students, faculty, and staff. After an afternoon of Dean’s Welcome sessions across each academic school, the campus community gathered once again at the Student Center Circle for Kizer’s Kickoff, an annual early-evening get-together featuring music, food, and entertainment.
