This year as Opening Convocation is back and so are several traditions! What staff and faculty need to know to participate in opening convocation:
The Clapping Tunnel: Faculty and staff are invited to form two lines down 7 ½ Street by Murphy Square.
Arrive 10:30 a.m. or earlier.
Please wear your regalia or Auggie gear.
In case of rain please line up on both sides of the Si Melby lobby.
Cyndi Berg will be standing at 7 ½ Street in case faculty or staff have any questions.
Timeline:
10:05 a.m. Student line up – two lines down 22nd Ave in both directions
10:30 a.m. Faculty/Staff Line Up
10:40 a.m. Processional Begins
11:00 a.m. Convocation Begins in Si Melby Gym
11:45 a.m. Recessional and Lunch in the Quad Begins
AugSem faculty will be sitting with their AugSem classes and transfer students will be with their Orientation Leaders.
All faculty and staff are invited to the luncheon. We ask that first-years, transfers, and AugSem faculty are prioritized in the lunch line due to timing.
In case of rain, the lunch will be located inside Christensen Center.
We hope that you will join us in welcoming our new first-year and transfer students to their Augsburg community!
