The Class of 2015 Convocation

During this year’s Convocation, MU will bring two generations together: The class of 1965 and the incoming freshmen.

Candlelight ceremony - 2010

The class of 1965 has been enlisted to help connect this year’s incoming freshmen with the Millersville University Alumni Association. The new freshmen, scheduled to graduate in 2015, will likely be going through graduation activities as the class of 1965 celebrates its 50th anniversary of graduation. There will be additional activities to bring the two classes together between now and 2015.

Members of the class of 1965 will join members of the Class of 2015 in their freshman convocation on Friday, August 26. The event, sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs, begins at 8 p.m. in Pucillo Gymnasium and will end with a candlelight ceremony at the pond.

The list of attendees includes the Class of 1965’s president, treasurer, secretary and many other area alumni. The alumni will be handing out “Seize the Opportunity” pins to the students in Pucillo and, led by Abe Breslin ’98, sing the alma mater with the All Campus Musical Organization at the pond.

According to Dianne O’Connor, alumni services, “The night will mark one of the few times two generations so distant from each other will gather together to share stories of their experiences at Millersville University.”
