More than 400 Students Attended New Student Convocation
The first-ever New Student Convocation on August 11, 2020 had over 400 students participate virtually. All students who attended the event and submitted a survey will receive a $100 book voucher and a backpack with supplies. Additionally, 30 students were randomly selected to receive gift cards from Dutch Bro鈥檚 coffee shop. The $40,000 in book vouchers will be sent out on Friday, and students will pick up their backpacks and coffee cards at a drive-through next week.
The Student Affairs team is following up with students who didn鈥檛 attend the virtual event to determine how we can serve them, and is providing a link to our Convocation webpage, which was designed to provide students with direct access to Student Support Services beyond Convocation.
A big thank you to the 糖心Vlog Foundation for providing $5,000 for book vouchers; Dutch Bro鈥檚 coffee for gifting $300 in gift cards; Project RISE for providing the backpacks and supplies; and Equity funds for providing support for the remaining book vouchers.
