As the 2022-23 academic year is approaching, the President’s Cabinet would like to provide faculty and staff with a number of events that can be added to calendars.
Convocation
Convocation will be held Tuesday, Aug. 22, and will be held on the Minneapolis Campus. The event will be live-streamed to the Winona Campus for those who are unable to attend in person in Minneapolis.
Convocation provides an opportunity for the university community to gather together and kick off the 2023-2024 academic year.
A full day of events will be highlighted by remarks from our president, Father James P Burns, IVD, Ph.D., and Brother George Van Grieken, FSC, Ph.D., the keynote speaker.
Br. George is a Lasallian Scholar, whose life has been dedicated to the research and study of Lasallian education and spirituality. He has taught at all levels, was the president/CEO of a Lasallian International School, and has presented at regional and international formation conferences.
Bus transportation from Winona to Minneapolis will be provided. The bus will depart from the front of the Toner Student Center at approximately 7:15 a.m.
Please RSVP for Convocation by Aug. 4.
Summer picnics
Later this month, the university community will hold its annual summer picnics on both campuses. All staff and faculty are welcome to attend one or both picnics. Staff and faculty take this moment to appreciate all that has been and all that is to come as we anticipate a successful year ahead. The picnics will be:
- Thursday, Aug. 17, at noon at the University Center on the Twin Cities Campus
- Wednesday, Aug. 23, at noon at the plaza on the Winona Campus
RSVP by Friday, Aug. 4, to ensure accurate attendee counts.
