Marian University's Ancilla College campus community celebrates the start of a new semester by welcoming new and returning students back to campus with a week of fun events and activities starting August 19.
Convocation is a long-standing tradition in higher education and at Marian University. Convocation is a gathering of students, faculty, and staff to mark the beginning of the college experience.
