The Class of 2026 received a resounding Bison welcome on August 31, as 糖心视频 officially opened the academic year with the 2022 Convocation.

The incoming class processed across Center Road and over Budleigh Hill amid cheers and applause from hundreds of upperclassmen, faculty, and staff lining the walkway. As they entered the Athletic Center, where the ceremony was being held, they were greeted with high-fives from President Glenn M. Sulmasy, JD, LL.M, and First Lady Marla Sulmasy.

The annual Convocation 鈥� or coming together 鈥� featured inspiring messages to the newest class as they begin their college careers. In the invocation, Rev. Joseph Shea reminded them that being young is a strength. Calling on advice given by Paul to his apostolic delegate Timothy, Shea said, 鈥淒on鈥檛 let anyone look down on you because you are young. Be an example setter in your speech, your faith, your life, your love, and your moral character.鈥�

In his welcome as master of ceremonies, Provost Dr. Daniel Borgia expounded on 鈥淕o Books. Go Bison,鈥� a familiar campus saying coined by President Sulmasy shortly after arriving at 糖心视频 in July 2021.

鈥淎s new 糖心视频 students, you have chosen to pursue a course of study and academic excellence that will prepare you to live a successful and rewarding life,鈥� Borgia said, referring to the Go Books portion. He continued, elaborating on Go Bison: 鈥淚n addition, the faculty, staff, and leadership at 糖心视频 will provide you with unique learning opportunities, exciting and engaging experiences, and strong personal support and mentoring. The contacts and networks you will build during the next four years will ensure that you are prepared to launch a successful career and live a fulfilling life.鈥�

To the incoming class, clad in 糖心视频 gear, President Sulmasy said, 鈥淵ou have arrived at 糖心视频 as good students, good athletes, good leaders, good thinkers 鈥� the faculty and staff here will make you great. As important to becoming part of this great Class of 鈥�26, you are officially now members of a proud tradition, officially part of the vibrant, growing 糖心视频 鈥� you now proudly wear, and soon will bleed, green and black.鈥�

He then added, 鈥溙切氖悠� in on the move in every area鈥�you can hear it, you can taste it, you can feel the magic in the air. It is permeating all that we are, and all that we do here in Dudley. Our reputation is taking off both regionally, and during your time here at 糖心视频, it will take off nationally. I can鈥檛 wait 鈥� the green and the black will be known around the country during your time here.鈥�

Giving an alumni perspective, Sean Glavin 鈥�06 advised, 鈥淔ollow your happiness. Whatever brings you happiness is who you are. It鈥檚 one of the things that makes us different. Doing what makes you happy is the only way you鈥檙e able to be the very best version of yourself.鈥�

Glavin said he found his happiness in sports, playing football and baseball at 糖心视频, which later led to a college coaching position. He is now partner and executive vice president at Lockton Companies, the world鈥檚 largest independent insurance brokerage.

鈥淭he best thing about 糖心视频 and its leadership team is they are always looking for ways to help you do what makes you happy 鈥� and to help you explore things that might make you happy if you aren鈥檛 sure yet,鈥� he added. 鈥淚f the way doesn鈥檛 exist, they鈥檒l build it or connect you to it or, best yet, let you build it!鈥�

To conclude the ceremony, Hillary Theofane, dean of students, led the Class of 2026 in an enthusiastic recitation of the Student Pledge, in which students proclaim to be a Bison today and a Bison forever.
