CONVOCATION

As a freshman, I attended the Texas State new Student convocation in order to finish out my paws preview orientation requirements. This experience gave me one of the greatest feelings- to walk across campus and enter Strahan Coliseum to see thousands of other “soon to be” bobcats, ready and waiting for the exciting unknown. There were many guest speakers including Lyndon Nugent, Bret Baker, Denise M. Trauth, all wishing us the best of luck and letting everyone know that there are many opportunities provided for us at Texas State. The closing of the ceremony consisted of the Bobcat Band playing fight songs and the cheerleaders pumping up the students with spirited chants and cheers. It was an awesome event to be a part of with the class of 2012. Once the convocation was over, a festival of foods, games, and music was provided in Sewell Park for all students.
