Welcome to the 2024/2025 Academic Year
Thank you to all of the faculty and staff that attended the “State of the University Address” (SOTU) on Thursday, September 19 at 8:30 a.m., where President Sabah Randhawa shared his reflections on the past year and goals and priorities for the 2024/25 academic year.
The video recording is available above for those that weren't able to attend or watch the livestream, and the transcript is available on the Speeches section of the President's webpage.
As a reminder, the SOTU replaces what was previously called “Faculty & Staff Opening Convocation.” The student-focused “New Student Convocation” is scheduled for Tuesday, September 24, 2024, the day before fall quarter classes began.
