Convocation: Roadrunner Rally
Friday, August 21, 2020 | Virtual
This is the official welcome for all new students and the start of their college career. This kick-off event serves as a "bookend" to each student's academic journey, with Convocation: Roadrunner Rally as the opening ceremony and commencement as the final goal. The ceremony remarks will include a welcome from MSU Denver President Dr. Janine Davidson and from an alumni keynote speaker. This is an opportunity for incoming students to come together for their first official university event.
