Academic Convocation

Academic Convocation
and the
Investiture of
Dr. Elsa A. Murano
as the twenty-third president of
Texas A&M University

On September 12, 2008, Texas A&M University will celebrate the beginning of the academic year with the university's annual Academic Convocation. This occasion also will be the setting for the investiture of Dr. Elsa A. Murano as the twenty-third president of the university.

The time for this year's event will change from mid-afternoon to mid-morning, a departure from the practice of the last several years. The academic procession to Convocation will step-off from the Cushing Library at 9:45 a.m., with the Convocation beginning at 10 a.m. in Rudder Auditorium.

Please mark your calendars and plan to attend this important occasion in the life of the university.
