Fall Convocation
Convocation Invitation from the Chancellor
Appalachian State University’s 20th annual convocation will be held on Thursday, September 6, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. in the George M. Holmes Convocation Center. The featured address will be given by Paul Cuadros, author of A Home on the Field .
As has become our practice, we will begin and end the event with an academic procession and recession. Classes on Thursday, September 6, will begin at 12:30 p.m. in order that faculty, staff, and students, may attend this and other important events to be held that day. Faculty are asked to encourage the attendance of their students.
The convocation is being held for the entire Appalachian community. With that in mind, supervisors are encouraged to allow employees to attend the convocation and related events and to do so on a paid time basis.
This convocation marks the 108th year of our founding and is an opportunity for those of us in the academic community to celebrate Appalachian's past, present, and future. I encourage you to enthusiastically support this event with your presence.
- Dr. Kenneth E. Peacock, Chancellor
