Start of the Year

This morning the college community gathered together for Convocation - to formally open the beginning of the year and to welcome the Class of 2015 into our academic community.  

During the ceremony, each College House presented their elected leader for this school year.  Each of the five college houses have their own governance system - a extraordinary opportunity for leadership and management that is rarely available to undergraduates.  Each House government has it's own social programming budget and are responsible for planning, organizing and funding a wide-range of activities within the Houses. 

It was a beautiful morning and a great way to kick off the start to the year!
