Robert Ruiz, director of forensics and recipient of the 2019 Excellence in Teaching Award, was this year’s keynote speaker at the University’s annual Convocation to ring in the 128th academic year Aug. 28 in the Athletic Pavilion.
New beginnings were a common theme throughout the University of La Verne’s convocation ceremony Aug. 29, which welcomed freshmen, and also the first class in the University’s new physician’s assistant graduate program.
Green and orange flags and signs placed around campus built the community’s anticipation as staff, faculty and students gathered in front of Founders Hall to celebrate the University of La Verne’s 125th anniversary at convocation Aug. 31.
The sound of the University of La Verne’s spirit bell resonated in the athletic pavilion during Convocation on Aug.28, letting the La Verne community know that the 123rd academic year had begun.
