Campus Safari #18 New Student Convocation

This week I attended the new student Convocation. Though it was short in length I thought it was very important for us to attend to know what the university expects from us as students. There was a section where the student council went around making promises or pledges to the university, mostly about being a good member of the community, being friendly to one another, and I thought that was one of the most important things to get out of it. We all want a good experience here and if everyone is just nice and open to other people then we will. Another highlight of the Convocation was the when the President of Southern Connecticut State University, Mary A. Papazian gave her speech. She as well as us is new to Southern and basically her speech was just about how we will continue to grow as a university and continue to change things in a positive way. She also talked about how the campus is not the only things being remodeled but the reputation of Southern is also changing in a positive way and we all have to contribute to making these changes last.
