Convocation remarks by Chancellor Howard Gillman

To the freshman Class of 2022, and to all our transfer students: Welcome to the beginning of one of the great adventures of your life! The years to come will be exciting, unforgettable in the best possible way. It’s going to be great – great but not easy, not without its challenges. If it were easy, anybody could do it, and we wouldn’t have to spend the time to admit the very best students.
