Brooklyn, N.Y. – "Believe in Yourself... It Matters!" is the theme of
Convocation Day–the celebration of the start of the academic year for
freshmen at Long Island University's Brooklyn Campus. Taking place on
Thursday, September 3, the event’s purpose is to give students a shared
foundation of understanding with professors and fellow students that will
last through their college years and beyond.
From 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., in the Campus’s Arnold & Marie Schwartz
Athletic Center in Metcalfe Hall, students will hear welcoming words
from Brooklyn Campus Chancellor Joel Press, Long Island University
President David J. Steinberg, Brooklyn Campus Provost Gale Stevens
Haynes, faculty, staff, and fellow students, including the president of the
Student Government Association (SGA).
The guest speaker will be George Emilio Sanchez, a writer, performer and
director, as well as the chair of the department of performing and creative
arts at the College of Staten Island. Sanchez is known for his teaching of
techniques associated with Augusto Boal’s Theater of the Oppressed, and
for demonstrating how the arts can be utilized in education across the
disciplines.
From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., students will experience the 10-acre Brooklyn
Campus with it trees, flowers, fountains and expansive lawns. It will be
easy to make friends in this upbeat atmosphere where campus and
community groups will perform and give demonstrations.
All 68 campus clubs, including sororities and fraternities, and five student
organizations such as Seawanhaka the campus student newspaper and
Sound, the yearbook, will be present and open to attracting new members.
The acclaimed Mark Morris Dance Company will give a performance and
Urban Glass will give a glass-blowing demonstration. Music will be
