Please join President Berenecea Johnson Eanes and the University community for University Convocation as we begin the new academic year together.
Building on the Strategic Plan introduced during the State of the University address, members of our campus community will highlight the four strategic pillars and share the priorities and initiatives that will guide our work in the year ahead. The program will celebrate our shared mission while emphasizing meaningful engagement, collaboration, and the collective efforts that strengthen our University.
The celebration continues at 4:00 p.m. with a University Reception, jointly hosted by all University divisions. We invite faculty, staff, administrators, and student employees to come together as One LA as we celebrate the beginning of a new academic year and the collaborative spirit that unites our campus community.
Please RSVP for both the University Convocation and University Reception so we can plan accordingly.
