As the fall semester is about to begin, make plans now to attend the 21st Annual Academic Convocation, which will be at 12:15 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 27, in the Polytechnic United Methodist Church.

The tradition of holding an Academic Convocation is to mark the beginning of each school and to come together as a campus community. President Frederick G. Slabach will be the keynote speaker and his topic is "Whither Wesleyan?"
